Types of wind turbine bearings

Main bearings: These bearings are crucial for handling radial loads and improving the transmission efficiency of wind turbines. They are designed with excellent self-aligning properties, vibration resistance, and stable operation, making them essential for the reliable performance of the turbine
Yaw bearings: Positioned between the nacelle and the tower, these bearings allow the nacelle to rotate and adjust its orientation to face the wind, maximizing energy capture
Pitch bearings: Located between the blade and the hub, pitch bearings are responsible for adjusting the blade angle to optimize wind capture. They play a critical role in ensuring the turbine operates efficiently and safely
Gearbox bearings: These bearings are housed within the gearbox and are used to increase the rotational speed of the turbine. They are common in double-fed and semi-direct-drive turbines, while direct-drive models may not require a gearbox due to their multi-speed motor designs
