Renewable energies
Wind energy has a predominant place due to it being one of the most developed renewable energies in the world. The draw of such alternative energies is directly linked to the rise in the price of oil, to greater environmental concerns, but also to an ever increasing need for energy.
France Joint provides high-efficiency sealing solutions to withstand the extreme stresses in which wind turbines operate on a daily basis. We have profiles and mixtures specially made for effective resistance to sometimes high temperatures, fluctuations related to weather conditions, salt air, ozone, ultraviolet light.
RELIABLE HYDRAULIC SEALS FOR WIND TURBINE CYLINDERS
The hydraulic rams responsible for the orientation of the blades, are critical elements for the proper functioning of wind turbines. They require the use of robust seals capable of providing millions of cycles. France Joint brings all its expertise to this with a range of rod seals, piston seals, guide elements, and wiper seals allowing for:
Long lifespans
Guaranteed millions of cycles
Operating in extreme thermal conditions
Withstanding pressures of more than 30 MPa
Wear resistance with limited friction
Operating optimally even with a small amount of travel with high frequencies
SPECIFIC ROTARY SEALS FOR TRANSMISSIONS
France Joint provides a wide range of rotary seals, cassette seals, V Rings to ensure the total sealing of transmissions.
Locking rings with optimised geometry to contain oil and stop unwanted contaminants
Blends compatible with gearbox oils
Rotary seals capable of resisting over very wide temperature ranges
