Timken Online Intelligence System Provides Preventative Solutions<br />
The Timken Company’s Online Intelligence System (OIS) identifies<br />
potential bearing and gear issues before they become major problems<br />
for wind turbine owners. With operating conditions that change as<br />
frequently as the wind, mechanical equipment used in wind turbine<br />
applications encounters variable speeds, loads, temperatures and more,<br />
making it difficult to consistently and accurately monitor the machine’s<br />
health.<br />
“It takes significant technical expertise to perform condition<br />
monitoring in extreme applications,” said Hans Landin, director of<br />
process industries original equipment and wind energy for Timken.<br />
“Timken offers a comprehensive wind turbine service platform that<br />
includes online monitoring systems, a qualified wind field service<br />
organization, and upgraded solutions that can help lower the total cost<br />
of ownership for our customers.”<br />
The Timken OIS is a breakthrough condition monitoring/data<br />
collection and reporting system specifically designed for these extreme<br />
ranges of a wind turbine application. The Timken OIS utilizes a<br />
combination of vibration, high-definition shock pulses and analog/digital<br />
