Package Solutions for Wind Power Plants

Great demands are made on all components in both off-shore and on-shore wind power plants. Elastomer elements in particular such as seals, conical mounts or pressure accumulators are expected to have long service lives, be easy to install and be highly resistant to all environmental influences. At HUSUM WindEnergy 2008, Simrit® will present its special customized seals for wind power plants, thereby opening up significant innovation potential for this form of power generation.

In view of the increased performance levels of wind power plants, close attention must be paid to the design and dimensions of transmission seals, rotor bearings or rotating assembly seals. Moreover, the elastomer materials used in these applications must guarantee long-term serviceability, high thermal stability, aging stability and be resistant to media such as water, salt water, ozone and mineral oil all at once.

For wind power plants, Simrit offers its customers a broad range of:

- Simmerring radial shaft seals and
- profiled cords for very large diameters,
- hydraulic sealing systems for brakes,
- high-performance PU seals with low-temperature resistance
- vibration control products and
- pressure accumulators for blade pitch variation.

This list has recently been extended by an innovative telediagnosis tool for wind power plants:

- the first Simmerrings with integral leakage sensors.
