Safety precautions for planetary gearboxes

Update:16-12-2022
Summary:...
Planetary gearboxes are widely used in wind turbines and are often used in wind turbines as an important mechanical component. The main function of the gearbox is to transmit the power generated by the wind wheel under the action of the wind to the generator and make it obtain the corresponding speed. Usually, the speed of the wind rotor is very low, far lower than the speed required by the generator, which must be achieved through the speed-up effect of the gear pair of the gearbox, so the gearbox is also called a speed-up gearbox.
Let's take a look at the safety measures of the planetary gearbox:
1. All relevant personnel in the wind farm, such as installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, etc. , you must read and understand all contents of this manual, especially the safety section. It is recommended that the operator confirm in writing that the above requirements are met.
2. Engage in all related work, such as installation, commissioning, maintenance, etc. Procedures for closing switches and avoiding incorrectly closing switches must be followed. The entire transmission must be equipped with an emergency stop device and a switch to avoid automatic activation. The switch must meet the requirements of valid legal regulations.
3. Any working method that may endanger the safety of the gearbox must be avoided.
4. The operator is responsible for ensuring that unauthorized individuals are not allowed to work on the gearbox
5. All operators must immediately report any changes that may damage the gearbox to the relevant personnel.
6. All operators must ensure that the gearbox is only working in good condition.
7. Unauthorized changes to the gearbox that affect its safety are prohibited.
8. Relevant work is only allowed when the gearbox is stopped.
9. After the maintenance work is completed, all safety equipment must be in place before starting.
10. In any case, the operation of the gearbox must comply with the local safety rules and accident prevention rules.
11. The moving parts must be protected to avoid inadvertent contact with the operator.
