As the demand for wind energy grows, the installation of offshore wind turbines has surged, leading to an increased need for floating cranes. These specialized vessels are equipped with slewing bearings that are crucial for lifting operations, allowing cranes to hoist and position heavy structures during turbine installation. Given the significant lifting capacities often exceeding a thousand tons, the design of these slewing bearings must accommodate high demands, with diameters typically over 10 meters. To address transportation challenges, many slewing bearings are manufactured in segments, enabling easier processing and assembly on-site. This segmented structure requires meticulous design, stringent quality control, and often necessitates certification from maritime authorities to ensure safety and reliability during offshore operations.
- LYXQL has a strong background in supplying slewing bearings for wind turbines, which gives us an in-depth understanding of the installation process and enables us to make meaningful contributions to floating crane design
- Our advanced equipment includes a 12.5-meter CNC machine that integrates milling and drilling, along with gear processing machines and CNC milling centers, all tailored for precision manufacturing
- Since 2010, we have delivered over 80 integral slewing bearings with diameters ranging from 8 to 10 meters and more than 20 sectioned slewing bearings exceeding 10 meters. This extensive experience has allowed us to continually innovate and enhance our design, production, and quality control processes, resulting in multiple patents
The integrated three-row roller slewing bearings are designed to handle the significant axial, radial, and overturning loads typical in large marine equipment like full-rotation floating cranes and heavy-duty ship cranes. This bearing type is constructed with inner and outer rings, rollers, cages, and seals ...
Split three-row roller slewing bearings are engineered to manage the substantial demands of heavy-duty marine applications. Unlike conventional bearings, these feature segmented inner and outer rings that enable easier transportation and on-site assembly of large-diameter components.
LYXQL offers a full range of services for precision bearings used in wind turbines, including custom solutions, technical support, and expert engineering. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction ensures that we meet your specific needs with reliable and high-performance products.
