Seal in Peace of Mind
Turbines keep getting larger and faster, delivering more power with less downtime. Our bespoke sealing solutions are designed to match the scale, vibration, and loads of modern wind energy assets.
Applications
Engineered for Wind, Proven in the Field
Every major turbine subsystem relies on seal performance for uptime and reliability. System Seals develops industry-leading solutions for:
- Main Bearings
- Pitch Bearings
- Yaw Bearings
VORTEX
Seal the Future of Wind
VORTEX is revolutionizing wind turbine seal technology for extreme conditions, delivering leak-free reliability where other seals freeze. Using next-generation materials and a patented pumping design, it prevents leaks even in deep cold down to -40°F, while lower wear rates and up to 3X longer seal life help increase MTBF, reduce downtime, and cut millions in costly redesigns. Backed by an engineering partnership model, VORTEX also provides application-specific expertise for cold-climate OEMs, operators, and service companies.
Sealing Challenges
Less Leakage, Longer Service Life
It takes specialized seals to meet the rigors of wing energy projects. Our solutions are engineered to solve your most costly challenges.
Wind-specific designs reduce seal failures, extending equipment uptime.
Patented pump design improves lubricant retention and resists contamination.
Large-diameter production capabilities for seals up to 6 meters across.
Next-generation main bearing seal that eliminates leaks in both oil- and grease-lubricated bearings.
Ground-breaking seal that eliminates main bearing leaks in all applications, from small onshore turbines to the largest offshore operations. The pumping effect of the seal ensures any potential leakage is trapped between the seal lips and pumped back towards the bearing.
A robust seal design that has been optimised for onshore main bearing seal applications. The combination of wear resistant lip materials, spring retention and the flexible design have established the VARIOTEX as a solution you can rely on.
Dual lip pitch bearing seal with improved lip design to withstand larger bearing deflections. Ideal for large diameter applications in severe environments, VENTEX protects the bearings from the elements while preventing any grease leakage.
Compliance & Testing
Proof of Performance
System Seals solutions have been validated in both lab and fleet environments:
- Longer service life in pitch cylinders vs. legacy lip seals
- Documented MTBF increases and lifecycle cost savings
- Seasonal grease leakage eliminated in nacelle gearbox trials
- Downtime reductions documented across multiple turbine fleets
