Application Engineering Specialist The Timken Company North Canton, Ohio, United States
Within the wind industry, wind turbine drivetrain bearing performance as it relates to the presence of stray electrical currents has been and continues to be a topic of review and discussion. Based on the desire to better understand this and how it may or may not effect bearing feature selections used in wind turbine drivetrains, Timken has begun a series of lab tests. Although testing continues, the results of the completed tests are of interest for end-users and wind farm operators.
