WIND POWER

CARCOSEAL APPLICATIONS

WIND TURBINE COMPONENTS

CARCOSEAL APPLICATIONS

• Typical application :

• Main shaft bearing

• Rotor bearing

• Gearbox shaft

• Generator output shaft

• Blade pitch bearing

• Yaw bearing

•Typical Carco Products :

•Carcoseal/UN

•Carcoseal/UN/LA

•Carcoseal/SCA

•Customized rubber profiles

CARCOSEAL APPLICATIONS

CARCOSEAL FITTED MAINLY ON MAIN SHAFT BEARING:

-ENDLESS VERSION FOR NEW BUILD

VIRTUALLY NO REPLACEMENT FOR THE ENTIRE WIND TURBINE

LIFETIME (SPECIAL RUBBER COMPOUND RECOMMENDED FOR

BEST FRICTION AND OZONE RESISTANCE)

-SPLIT VERSION FOR RUNNING TURBINES

REDUCING TO A MINIMUM MAINTENANCE TIME TO REPLACE

OTHER OIL SEALS

“We want the customer to save money”

CARCOSEAL rotary shaft seals

• NO LEAKAGE OF BEARING LUBRICANT

• NO CONTAMINATION OF BEARING LUBRICANT

• LONGER BEARING LIFETIME

• SPLIT VERSION AVAILABLE, SHAFT REMOVAL NOT NEEDED

• DOWNTIME REDUCTION

• MANPOWER COST REDUCTION

• LESS OIL SEALS PURCHASED

• BIG SAVINGS IN MAINTENANCE !

CARCOSEAL rotary shaft seals

OTHER CLUES:

- OUR OIL SEALS ARE EASY TO FIT

- NO LEAKAGE THROUGH SEAL AND HOUSING

- NO HOUSING DAMAGE DURING SEAL FITTING

“We want the customer to save money”

Carcoseal Benefits Rubber formulated with PTFE

to reduce friction

“Carcoflon” PTFE surface

treatment:

• No stick slip effect;

• Lip protection during

dry running.

• Friction reduction.

Stainless steel spring keeping

lip homogeneously in

contact with shaft.

Large contact area:

• Guarantee against leakage;

• Less radial contact pressure;

• Less heat generation;

• Less shaft wear.

Oil/Grease

PTFE SHAFT

SEAL LIP

MENISCUS EFFECT

• Lubricant is pumped into the contact zone by the shaft rotation and provides a separating oil film, reducing friction and providing cooling. The reverse pumping effect keeps the lubricant contained in the contact band.

Carcoseal Split version - straight cut into full rubber for better sealing

- overlength on seal circumference to compress split

area and prevent leakage

- quick screwing of the stainless steel garter spring

- gluing on site not needed for applications with no

pressure

- easy and quick seal replacement

Dedicated rubber compound for

wind turbines: HT700

- Hydrogenated NBR with additives for longer working life.

- Wide working temperature range: -45° / +150°C

- Ozone resistant

- Characteristics and compatibility with the most used greases have

been verified by a third part laboratory.

- Fully in accordance with FAG specifications: S131319-1 “HNBR75

for seals in wind power turbine”

THE ORBITAL 2 PROJECT

CARCO WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED BY

AN ENGINEERING COMPANY INTO THE

SEAL DESIGN OF A NEW GEARBOX

FOR A 3 MW WIND TURBINE.

THE BIG GEARBOX IS CONNECTED

DIRECTLY TO THE ROTOR.

THE SHAFT DIAMETER IS mm 1750

AND 2 SEALS ARE DESIGNED TO KEEP

LUBRICANT INSIDE THE BIG BEARING

AND TO PREVENT LUBRICANT TO BE

CONTAMINATED BY DUST AND OTHER

POSSIBLE AGENTS.

CARCOSEAL/SCA/SPLIT FITTED BACK

TO BACK WAS RECOMMENDED.

SPLIT VERSION TO EASE SEAL

FITTING.

H-NBR COMPOUND TO GUARANTEE

THE LONGEST SEAL SERVICE LIFE.

PROBLEM SOLVING FROM CARCO

CARCO SPECIALISTS INSPECTED A 1,5 MW WIND TURBINE IN SPAIN.

WE DETECTED BIG GREASE LEAKAGE FROM MAIN SHAFT BEARINGS DUE

TO DEEP GROOVES ON THE SHAFT SLEEVE FROM ORIGINAL OIL SEALS:

TOO SOFT STEEL UNDER CHROMIUM COATING.

WE SUGGESTED TO MOVE THE SEAL INSIDE THE HOUSING WITH A

SPACER IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE CONTACT AREA ON THE SHAFT.

WE DELIVERED CARCOSEAL/UN/SPLIT WITH FULL SATISFACTION OF THE

CUSTOMER.
