Timken® Elastomer 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.

Our seals, including the Timken® elastomer 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.
