Wind turbine gearbox testing and running-in

At FAMUR Gearo, we operate a state-of-the-art test station that enables the testing and running-in of both new and refurbished gearboxes.

Our test bench allows for cyclic load testing with power levels up to 2.7 MW.

An advanced control system enables the application of any load and speed profiles within the range of 0 to 1,800 RPM, as well as the simulation of shock loads at frequencies up to 10 Hz, accurately replicating the dynamic operating conditions of machinery.

During testing, we record key operating parameters:

• Rotational speed and torque on the drive and load sides
• Surface temperatures of the gearbox housing
• Oil temperatures in the lubrication system and oil chamber
• Vibrodiagnostic parameters – RMS acceleration, RMS velocity, vibration time waveforms
• Flow rate and temperature of cooling water
• Flow rate and temperature of oil in the lubrication system

Thanks to the acoustic insulation of our test hall, we can also perform noise emission measurements in accordance with ISO 9614-2 and ISO 3744 standards.

Under an agreement signed in April 2025 with Siemens Sp. z o.o., the FAMUR Gearo test station will be equipped with new equipment that will increase the rated power capacity to 5.4 MW, significantly expanding our testing capabilities.
