New galvanic coating for more robust rolling bearing rings

The rolling bearing in the rotors of wind turbines is exposed to enormous frictional forces. Innovative galvanic coatings can make rolling bearings so robust that housings and lubricants become superfluous. This could increase the energy efficiency of wind turbines by up to 30 percent. More
