Lindø Offshore Renewables Center (LORC) is building a new test bench for main shaft bearings at their location at Odense Port, Lindø, Denmark.
Schaeffler has assisted in defining the specifications of the test facility and will be the inaugural customer, conducting tests on its main shaft bearings for future generations of wind turbines in collaboration with OEMs. To develop and build the new test bench, LORC has appointed R&D Test Systems. The building process is about to start in the first half of 2024 at Lindø. In early 2025, the test facility components and infrastructure will be installed. The new main bearing test facility is planned to enter commercial operation by the end of August 2025.
