Can industrial endoscopes detect wind turbines?

With the continuous development of the wind power industry, the failure of wind turbines is also a problem that cannot be ignored, especially the failure of wind turbine gearboxes.

How to visually inspect the important components of the wind turbine, find the problem as soon as possible, and avoid unplanned downtime, as well as the resulting accidents and economic losses, are the challenges faced by wind power companies and operation and maintenance companies.

Using industrial endoscopes for regular maintenance of wind power equipment can effectively and timely help manufacturers and find problems in a timely manner. The following editor will introduce to you what inspections industrial endoscopes can perform on wind turbine units?

1. Gear detection

Check the meshing tightness of the gear tooth surface, the smoothness of the tooth surface, whether there is broken teeth caused by excessive contact pressure or insufficient lubricating oil; check the fatigue damage of the tooth surface, whether there is fatigue cracking of the raceway, contact spots, etc. Dry grinding, excessive wear and conditions such as rust, micropitting and cavitation; check the safety of gears and gearboxes at all levels.

2. Bearing inspection

Check the interference fit clearance of the high-speed shaft, high-speed intermediate shaft, low-speed intermediate shaft, planetary wheel shaft, and low-speed shaft and the internal clearance changes during operation; check whether there is cage burning in the shafting; check the shafting due to additional load. Changes in the axis, excessive displacement or wear, burns, thermal expansion, etc. caused by abnormal operation; check the cleanliness of each shafting and bearing surface; check the matching of the shafting, bearings and the box.

3. Parts inspection

Check the edge of the keyway for any factors that may cause stress concentration, such as burrs, nicks, and fine grooves; check whether the connectors and fasteners are loose and whether there is friction and corrosion.
