Gearbox integrated optical sensing is redefining the way gearboxes and drivelines are monitored and measured, leading to a new era of unprecedented reliability. By precisely measuring real-time torque, and planet load sharing, optical sensing provides a complete overview of the gearbox’s health and performance. Strengthen asset management with the remaining useable life predictions of all driveline components based on the measured operating conditions. By optimizing operation and maintenance, wind turbine operators can significantly reduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCoE) and extend the lifespan of their complete driveline.
