The rolling bearings of wind energy systems have to attain very long service life under harsh operating conditions. To overcome this challenge, NSK set about developing its Super-Tough (Super-TF) bearing steel, a proprietary material for very high load applications. NSK commissioned DNV GL to verify rolling bearings made of Super-TF with respect to ISO 281:2001 (Rolling bearings – Dynamic load ratings and Rating life).
