LTZC delivers batches of wind tunnel bearings to Mianyang Wind Tunnel Base

In wind tunnel testing equipment, bearings are critical components that ensure operational accuracy and stability. Recently, LTZC successfully delivered a batch of specialized wind tunnel bearings to the Mianyang Wind Tunnel Base in Sichuan, China. The delivery included multiple models such as 1788/1410K/P5, 013.25.1000.03K/P5, 013.45.2240.03K/P5, 013.50.3550.03K/P5, 013.50.3550.03K1/P5, 131.50.4000.03K/P5, and 131.50.4000.03/P6.

This successful delivery once again demonstrates LTZC’s expertise in the manufacturing of large slewing bearings and high-precision bearing solutions.

Technical Challenges and Requirements of Wind Tunnel Bearings

Wind tunnel testing is a highly demanding application where equipment must operate under extreme conditions. Bearings used in wind tunnels are required to withstand high rotational speeds, aerodynamic forces, and complex loads. Key technical requirements include:

• High precision grades (P5, P6): Ensuring rotor stability with minimal vibration and deviation.

• High load capacity: Capable of long-term operation under heavy aerodynamic loads.

• Extended service life and reliability: Reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

• Corrosion resistance and sealing performance: Ensuring durability in challenging operating environments.

The bearings delivered to the wind tunnel base cover a range of diameters and configurations, each designed with special processing technologies to enhance service life and operational safety.
