Land-based gas turbines play an important role in the energy sector and propulsion. These extremely powerful machines can drive oil and gas in transport pipelines. They also power ships and, in the energy industry, gas turbines are used to generate electricity in cogeneration and combined cycles. They have high efficiency, fast start and stop times, allowing rapid response to changing energy demands. They are driven by a jet engine.
An important part of every land-based gas turbine is the bearings, which ensure the smooth and efficient running of the rotating parts. They must withstand high temperatures and pressures while guaranteeing maximum reliability and long service life.
AKE bearings are synonymous with quality and reliability. In land-based gas turbines, they help supply the world with energy in the long term and sustainably. See for yourself in the development of customised bearing prototypes for land-based gas turbines as well as in the flexible production of small or large series.
A fundamental key characteristic of bearings in land-based gas turbines is that they have the same and stable operating capability under changing conditions during operation, such as temperature, speed and load. The effect is an extended bearing lifetime.
AKE bearings in gas turbines must withstand extreme thermal loads and sudden temperature changes from the environment or from their own operation.
The design and special materials such as 52100 steel, AMS6440, AMS6444, HSS M50, HSS M50 Nil predestine AKE bearings to cope with varying large speed ranges as well as high static and dynamic loads.
