Machineries are becoming smaller, and on the other side, their performance is becoming bigger. This is the global trend that has been happening for the last two decades.
Hi, this is Murali Krishna from Total Maintenance Solutions. I provide electrical, mechanical, and civil-related solutions to all manufacturing industries.
But if you ask me, is this trend followed everywhere across all segments? The answer is no. Still, most industries hesitate to innovate and continue following the same old methodologies used for many years.
One of the important factors in reducing machinery size is reducing the bearing size. Let me share a small example.
If you look at wind turbine gearboxes 20 years ago, a 500-kilowatt gearbox was as large as a room. But today, if you see a 2-megawatt gearbox, it is much smaller in size. How were they able to achieve this? By optimizing and reducing the bearing size.
When the bearing size becomes smaller, the shaft size becomes smaller, the gears become smaller, and as a result, the entire gearbox becomes compact. Even though the gearbox is smaller now, its performance is four times higher than earlier models.
Generally, designers think that using the same type of bearing or over-designing the bearing will provide longer life. But actually, that is not the case. Selecting the right type of bearing with the right design is what truly enhances performance.
Today, there have been many innovations even in the bearing industry. We have been providing these services to more than 100+ OEMs for the past two decades.
If you are facing any difficulty in designing the right bearing for your equipment, I can help you.
