Precise bearing supports for high efficiency and long life
Irrespective of whether solar power plants are photovoltaic or use solar thermal technology, they are particularly efficient if the collectors track the course of the sun. The more precise and trouble-free they operate, the better and more profitable the plants are. Rolling and plain bearings as well as linear units from the INA, FAG and ELGES brands make a decisive contribution here, since they have high rigidity and high load carrying capacity and operate reliably even under extreme operating conditions. With its extensive range of products and specialist expertise for materials, coatings, and seals, Schaeffler is an important development partner and supplier for projects involving parabolic trough, solar tower, Dish Stirling and Fresnel power plants. Besides standard products, individual solutions for specific customer requirements are offered. Depending on the type of power plant and its individual design, suitable rolling bearing solutions can include slewing rings, angular contact roller bearings, ball screw drives, housing units and radial insert ball bearings as well as track rollers. Plain bushes, spherical plain bearings, and linear units are also used. Schaeffler will be presenting this extensive product range at the Intersolar Europe trade show in Munich on June 13
