Power Rollers for 300-Ton Generator

Customer Challenge

A UK utility company needed a safer, faster method to rotate a 300-ton generator stator during rewinding operations. Traditional rigging methods required multiple cranes and presented safety hazards.

ENSER’s Solution

Analysis (FEA) Services and leveraging lessons from Engineering Services, we optimized roller geometry, bearing load distribution, and drive synchronization for even weight transfer.

The design followed SME best practices for safe handling and long-term durability. Similar load-balancing principles were applied in ENSER’s 35-Ton Rotor Transport Skid project.

Value Delivered

  • Increased safety through stable, powered rotation.
  • 40% faster maintenance cycles.
  • Reduced vibration damage to generator windings.

FAQ

Industries We Support

  • Aerospace: Optimize weight and structural integrity for flight-critical components. Ensure durability in high-vibration and pressurized environments. Use modal analysis to avoid resonant frequency issues.
  • Automotive: Validate crashworthiness, NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness), fatigue life of chassis components, and thermal stability of underhood assemblies. Support design of electric vehicle battery casings and cooling systems.
  • Energy: Ensure structural integrity of turbines, piping systems, and support structures under thermal and mechanical loading. Analyze thermal stresses in weldments, simulate pressure cycling effects, and model fluid-structure interaction.
  • Industrial Equipment: Optimize weight and structural integrity for flight-critical components. Ensure durability in high-vibration and pressurized environments. Use modal analysis to avoid resonant frequency issues.
  • Defense: Validate crashworthiness, NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness), fatigue life of chassis components, and thermal stability of underhood assemblies. Support design of electric vehicle battery casings and cooling systems.
