Invisible faults cannot escape perception. Inside the nacelle of a wind turbine, the transmission chain tirelessly converts the rotation of the wind wheel into clean electricity. This complex system, composed of the main shaft, gearbox, and generator, is known as the “heart” of the wind turbine. Once a serious fault occurs, it not only incurs … Read more
What specifications should we pay attention to when selecting accelerometers? Although there are currently no official standards for classifying vibration sensors, they can be categorized based on their effective resolution, as shown in Figure 8. It is evident that the coverage area of MEMS accelerometers is smaller than that of piezoelectric sensors. MEMS accelerometers are … Read more
