SKF Nautilus
Reducing total cost of energy production
Wind turbine manufacturer in Denmark required a low-friction solution to ‘fit and forget’. SKF Nautilus bearings were the answer.
SKF Nautilus is a double row tapered roller bearing specifically designed for wind turbines. It is a single bearing solution that carries all the rotor loads, forces and movements that would normally require two bearings of conventional design. SKF developed a new generation of the SKF Nautilus bearings. Pre-greased, with integrated sealing carriers, high-friction coating and bolted inner rings, this new generation of SKF Nautilus bearings offers design engineers the freedom to develop a wide variety of wind turbines. They are easy to mount/dismount and tough enough to resist contamination and leakage.
