The oceans are a great resource for the generation of clean energy in a world in which the demand for electricity is increasing, so taking advantage of this potential has become a priority.
Many companies and countries are investing heavily in the development of systems that generate clean energy at sea.
But the sea is also a very unpredictable and corrosive environment where experience with the materials to be used is very important.
Thordon Bearing is a world leader in the manufacture of high performance and long-lasting bearing systems lubricated with the seawater itself. Our materials offer the best combination of strength/rigidity and flexibility/elasticity and high abrasion resistance.
We offer a selection of materials according to the application. Each of them offers specific advantages for different environments and conditions.
We manufacture bearings with diameters of up to 1.2 m in tubes and 3 m in segments.
Special non-metallic materials to work in contact with seawater. They can work both submerged in water and dry. Not affected by corrosion. Ideal for the design and manufacture of bearings, seals and wear rings.
We have a machining workshop that together with our engineering facilities enables us to design and manufacture any complete system for all types of project.
Manufacturing of the system for the pivot bearing of the platform designed by Enerocean to support wind turbines. The design was carried out using the most suitable materials so that they generate minimal friction when rotating due to currents or the wind.
Design and manufacture of the bearing system lubricated with seawater for the shaft tunnel that carries the propellers that generate energy. It was designed with the most suitable material for the creation of a hydrodynamic film with low revolutions.
