The CeramicSpeed bearings, which come with a special high temperature cage and high temperature grease to complement the ceramic rolling elements, will be fitted to motors that require repairing by Creadis Wind Solutions.
Steve Bacon, Bearings & Drives sales director, said: “Our company will be supplying the products and we chose to partner with another locally based firm, Fletcher Moorland based in Stoke-on-Trent to service and repair the units, rather than sending the units back to Denmark, thereby supporting both regional business and the environment.
“There is in excess of 1500 wind turbines around the UK coast and we are excited by the potential of this contract. This contract will provide wide exposure and reach, offering a tangible example of the products in action, and showcasing the benefits of CeramicSpeed bearings, over and above more traditional products.”
