WIND TURBINES – Investigation of Bearing Axial Cracking – Benchtop and FullScale Test Results

PCS instruments: MPR
Summary: The study investigates white-etching cracks (WECs) in wind turbine bearings. Benchtop tests show WECs form after high cumulative frictional energy from sliding under load. Full-scale gearbox tests confirm similar sliding conditions occur in turbines.
