Mobile Diagnostic Services for Gear Units in

Wind-Turbines with GearController Data-Loggers
- We recommend yearly diagnoses contracts Modern vibration measurement technology is a tool for condition related
maintenance. FLENDER Service Condition Monitoring offers a mobile diagnostic service for complete drives in
wind-turbines on the base of half-yearly
vibration measurements. Our diagnostic specialists come to site e. g. to a
wind-park with their GearControllers,
compile routes for measuring and carry
out initial measurements. This will be
followed by evaluation of the drive conditions; a report will be compiled and
suggestions for possible actions will be
made.
The long-term experience and the manufacturing and servicing of gears as
well as the diagnostic experience gathered world-wide by FLENDER form a
good base for precise judgements.
FLENDER Service also offers highly
qualified drive services for your complete drive technology.

Benefits for the Customer:

The average machine operation time
where no maintenance is required
can be significantly increased by early detection of possible defects.
Prediction of possible defects up to
several weeks in advance enables the
exchange of faulty parts at a scheduled inspection time.
Unnecessary repairs and disassembling can be avoided; only faults
as detected in the drive can be repaired during low-wind times; successive faults can thus be avoided.
Improved knowledge on the condition of your drives significintly contributes to the overall safety of your
installations.
Characteristic Features:
Mobile diagnostic service based on
yearly flat rates or in accordance to

expenses.
The FLENDER diagnostic-competence-centre gathers world-wide experience in machinery-diagnostics
irrespective of manufacturers, develops new methods incorporating the
most recent diagnostic experience in
GearController-technology.
Our own software engineers set
up customer- and application-specific
configurations and visualisations.
Traffic light frequency spectra are the
base for our diagnoses.
Mobile measurements may later also
be carried out by customers after
purchase of a GearController datalogger.
Scope of Services:
Calculation of roller bearing and
tooth meshing frequencies.
Bi-annual analyses of your plants including separate storage of data and
a half-yearly report in case of fixed
contracts.
Analyses of your installation on demand and payment upon expenses.
Higher priority will be given and shorter measuring cycles can be agreed
upon with customers after the first
detection of an imminent defect.
Information of FLENDER Service engineers in case of an upcoming major
maintenance.
Prerequisites:
Supply of information of the specifics
of the installation and the data of the
gear unit(s).
Designation of a contact person in
your company including phone-no.
and e-mail-address.
Timely information of changes at the
wind-turbine(s).
