As the world seeks renewable energy alternatives, wind power has become a growing industry. The technology has advanced significantly over the past several decades, leading to larger wind turbine sizes, complex manufacturing, and operational challenges. Wind turbines often operate in extreme environments – on/offshore, cold climates, desert, and remote locations – which pushes main shaft bearing systems to their limits and requires expensive equipment, such as cranes and/or assembly vessels, to maintain and repair.
