Gearbox Express has shipped the industry’s first gearbox to include a direct-from-factory installed, integrated oil-monitoring system that eliminates the need for periodic oil sampling.
Gearbox Express, a North American supplier of gearbox assemblies for the wind-turbine industry, and Poseidon worked together to design an integrated sensor package shipped already installed on the gearbox. Poseidon Systems will supply the oil-monitoring equipment and services for all Gearbox Express remanufactured gearboxes. The integrated system includes Poseidon’s Trident QW3100 oil quality and water contamination monitor, the DM4500 metallic wear debris monitors, and a Trident AP2200 data collector and communication device, and Poseidon Live for online data analysis and remote monitoring.
