System Seals developed the Vortex when a global wind turbine manufacturer requested an OEM retrofit seal to mitigate significant grease leakage and water ingress – issues that negatively compromised performance throughout wind farms and create environmental concerns.
"The Vortex was developed from our team's desire to find the optimal solution to virtually eliminate failure and minimized the cost of ownership," said System Seals Engineering Director Ron Claus. "We spent more than a year refining the design and rigorously testing prototypes to create a seal that delivered flawless results. The Vortex represents the pioneering work of our engineers, and we are pleased to make it available to the wind-power industry."
The Vortex seal reduces grease waste, lowers maintenance costs and protects wind-turbine main bearings from catastrophic failure. For more information about System Seals' wind seal technology and a 3D video rendering of the Vortex seal, click here.
