Wind turbine technology has advanced significantly over the past several decades, resulting in larger wind turbine sizes, more complex manufacturing processes, and increased operational challenges. In this 3-part webinar series, Waukesha Bearings will explain the advantages gained from using fluid film bearings on a wind turbine main shaft and the physics behind what makes them effective. Also, meet the new, game-changing NordAlign™ fluid film bearing that enables easy installation, maintenance and uptower exchangeability without the need for jack up vessels or cranes. 

Hydrogen is recognized as a key component to achieving global carbon neutrality. However, designing centrifugal compressors that enable effective transportation and storage of pure hydrogen poses several challenges due to high operating speeds and multiple compression stages. This webinar will discuss how the Flexure Pivot® and ISFD® bearing technologies provide high damping to control vibrations and prevent damage to the rotor and other components, thereby facilitating successful hydrogen compression.
