Despite posting its slowest quarter
since early 2007, AWEA remains
optimistic that the wind industry can
and will work successfully with the
revolving doors in Washington.
In an industrial application, equipment
uptime is vital for on-time performance and profitability. The rotating members of industrial machines are subject to the highest degree of wear and are more susceptible to failure than non-moving parts. Bearing surfaces are the most critical and often the most expensive portion of the rotary assembly; it is
imperative to protect these components. The primary protector of these components is the industrial seal.
Th e primary sources of bearing failure
are lack of lubrication and contaminant
ingress. Industrial sealing devices are the primary protection against bearing failure. When the sealing device fails, bearing failure is imminent. Th erefore, extending
the life of sealing devices extends bearing life and in turn improves equipment uptime.
