Efficiency Through Single Source Technology Harmonized drive and automation technology for large bearing test stand

摘要

To simulate the complex, wind-driven behavior of offshore wind turbines of the multi megawatt class in a very realistic setting on the world's largest test stand for large bearings located at Schaeffler in Schweinfurt, perfect interaction between the components and systems used in these turbines is required. This interaction is provided by a fully integrated drive train that is seamlessly integrated into the automation and communication technology specifically selected for this task.
