Abstract:
Gear micropitting phenomenon is common in megawatt-class wind turbine gearbox because of the hard operating environment and complicated load case. More and more attention has been paid to it during recent years. Main factors influencing gear micropitting, such as surface roughness, modification coefficient, oil temperature, are discussed in this paper according to ISO/TR 15144—1:2010. Reasonable values for the factors are suggested and software for calculating micropitting is developed. Based on observation and discussion, measures for reducing gear micropitting risk in wind turbine gearbox design are proposed.
