Main types of Renewable Energy

The main types of Renewable Energy are Wind Energy and Hydro Energy. Beldam Crossley provides sealing solutions for these two types of Renewable Energy. These renewable resources produce clean energy, resulting in less greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, which currently contributes to climate change.

Investment in Renewable Energy and Technologies is key to achieving a truly Sustainable and Carbon Neutral world.

Wind Energy is generating electricity by turning wind turbines. The wind pushing the turbine’s blade allows the generator to convert the mechanical energy into electricity. The electricity can then supply power to homes, buildings and be stored in power grids.

Additionally, Beldam Crossley has adapted the existing and established solutions to meet the high demands of the modern wind turbine. It’s important for wind turbines seal’s to be low friction, provide long life, and give ease of installation to the end user. Exactly what Beldam Crossley provides.

Over the past few years, wind energy technologies have evolved to maximize the electricity being produced, tailoring turbines to larger rotor diameters. At Beldam Crossley, we have a range of renewal energy sealing solutions, suitable for many aspects of the motor and transmissions found within all Wind Turbines.

Hydro Energy is one of the oldest types of Renewable Energy and have been used for thousands of years. The flowing water is utilised to generate mechanical energy, resulting in the creation of electricity.

Also, in any Hydro Energy application, the key component is the bearing. This allows the flow of the river to turn the turbine, powering the generator. Beldam Crossley has been supplying and producing high-performance bearing and seal systems. Furthermore, with over 50 years of experience in the development and manufacturing of self-lubricating bearings, Beldam Crossley knows the challenges faced.

Our various grades of Crossflon material provide excellent abrasive wear resistance in high-pressure environments. Regardless of the grade of material chosen, Beldams Crossley’s Crossflon material requires no oil or grease in dry or wet conditions.

To conclude, having been an innovator in the industry for over a century (since 1876), we have a solid track record of providing industrial sealing technology that protects lives, investments, and environments. We have always been, and always will be, committed to research and development to move our technologies forward. We continue to innovate for clean power generation and work across many Renewable Energy sectors.
