FAQs

Q:How to extend the lifespan of wind turbine gearboxes?

A: Maximize lifespan with synthetic lubricants (anti-wear additives) to extend oil changes to 5+ years. Use PeakVue™ vibration analysis for early wear detection. Offshore setups need corrosion-resistant materials (stainless steel, zinc-aluminum coatings) and IP66 seals. Optimize gearbox design (planetary gears) and load distribution to reduce stress.
 
Q:What causes gearbox oil level alarms and how to resolve them?

A: Alarms stem from leaks, clogged lines, or sensor faults. Check seals for leaks, replace gaskets, and flush filters. Test sensors for calibration issues. Offshore: moisture ingress via breathers can trigger false alarms—replace desiccants and dry air filters. Use condition-based monitoring for proactive oil maintenance.
 
Q: Can your gearboxes be retrofitted into existing turbines?
A: Yes, our modular designs allow seamless integration.
