  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSEMBLING A BORE REPAIR ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN A WIND TURBINE
    Publication number: 20110131781
    Abstract: A method of assembling a bore repair assembly for use with a wind turbine. The wind turbine includes a gearbox assembly that defines a first bearing bore and a second bearing bore coaxially aligned with the first bearing bore. The method includes coupling a first support assembly with respect to the second bearing bore. A boring bar is positioned coaxially within the first bearing bore and through the second bearing bore. The boring bar is rotatably coupled to the first support assembly. A boring bar drive assembly is coupled to the boring bar for rotating the boring bar about a central bearing axis.

  • Oil manifold for lubricating bearings
    Patent number: 7861827
    Abstract: A bearing oil supply assembly includes (a) a plate member with opposed first and second sides, the plate member having a first bore formed in the first side which is adapted to receive a first bearing; (b) an annular manifold attached to the plate member such that the plate member and the manifold cooperatively define an annular oil gallery; and (c) a plurality of passages formed in the manifold, the passages cooperating with the plate member to define a plurality of generally axially-directed pathways in fluid communication with the first bore and the oil gallery. The passages are substantially evenly spaced around the circumference of the manifold. The oil supply assembly may be used to supply oil to two bearings carrying separate shafts running at different speeds.
