Rokee® Customized Universal Shaft Coupling For Wind Power Test Bench for Customers, Rokee® is a well-known high-quality supplier of couplings and technical services in China.
As a key equipment for the research and quality control of wind turbines, the reliability of the transmission system of the wind power test bench directly affects the accuracy of test data and the safety of equipment operation. The universal joint plays a crucial role in this system, undertaking multiple tasks such as transmitting enormous torque, compensating for axis deviations, and absorbing vibration impacts.
The universal shaft couplings used in wind power test benches are mainly divided into two types: cross shaft type and ball cage type, each with unique structural advantages and applicable scenarios. A deep understanding of these differences is crucial for the correct selection of the transmission system for the testing bench.
The cross axis structure dominates in heavy-duty wind power testing stations, with typical representatives including SWC, SWP, and other series. This type of coupling achieves torque transmission through a precise fit between the cross shaft and the bearing seat, allowing for a large angle between the two shafts.
The ball cage coupling adopts a spherical track and steel ball structure, and is widely used in high-speed shaft systems (such as generator testing ends) of wind power test benches. Compared with the cross axis type, its biggest feature is the ability to achieve true constant speed transmission, and there will be no speed fluctuations even under large angle conditions.
The selection of couplings for wind power test benches should comprehensively consider multiple factors such as torque capacity, speed range, and compensation capability. For high-power testing systems, SWC type integral fork coupling has become the preferred choice due to its excellent reliability; In high-precision testing scenarios, ball cage or double universal couplings are more capable of meeting strict transmission accuracy requirements.
The selection of universal couplings for wind power testing platforms is a precision system engineering that requires a comprehensive consideration of the balance between static parameters and dynamic performance. The correct selection calculation can not only ensure the safe operation of the equipment, but also optimize the transmission accuracy and energy efficiency of the testing system.
