Timken® EcoTurn Labyrinth Wind Energy Seal 

Designed by our sealing experts, Timken's full line of wind energy seals protects your main-shaft investment by meeting the rigorous application demands, including low and variable operating speeds, as well as varying and cold application climates up to -40º C.

Timken EcoTurn Wind SealOur seals, including the Timken® EcoTurn labyrinth wind energy seal, also offer durability in both on-shore and off-shore conditions and feature seal life designed to match the bearing’s 20-year calculated service life. Zero grease leakage, sealing function through large deflection ranges and ease of up-tower assembly and disassembly are additional benefits.

 

Design Attributes

  • Non-contacting labyrinth provides a torturous path that prevents grease migration and contaminant ingress
  • Offers superior low-torque properties
  • Designed with press-fit so external retention plate is not required
  • Compliant brush element minimizes gap on environment side to block airborne contaminants
  • Low operating temperature increases lubricant and bearing life
  • Same shaft deflection capability as elastomer seals
  • Used with low-pressure lube system, such as the Timken® Wind Energy Lubrication System - LP

 

Applications

  • Wind turbine main-shaft bearings
