How Safe is your Wind Turbine?

HBM test products and systems

• Electrical and optical strain gauges
• High-precision torque transducers 
• High end power analysers and optical monitoring systems
• Qualified data acquisition systems and software tools

cover almost all measurements...

• Strain for fatigue testing and mechanical stress identification
• Torque in gear units to determine the generator's efficiency
• Compressive force to measure the total mass of the structure
• Displacement, acceleration, tilt...

... of different values in most components,

• Tower, foundation, rotor blades, gear units, drive train (inverters) and others
• Mechanical loads and measurable variables 
• During manufacturing, transportation, operation and service life
