DEVICE FOR FITTING A SEAL

摘要

The device (1) comprises at least one pressing member (2) and means (3) for attaching it to a wind turbine part (B), for example a blade root (7), which may have a relative movement with regard to a first part (A), for example a bearing (6) in a pitch blade mechanism, said first part (A) having a seat (5) into which the joint (4) is to be fitted. Upon relative rotation between said first parts (A, B), the pressing member (2) presses the seal (4) into the seat (5). A method for fitting the seal (4) into the seat (5) is also provided. Operations of maintenance or partial or complete replacement of the seal (4) can be carried out in situ on the wind turbine and also on pitch bearing manufacturing easily and effectively.
