Simple and cost-effective solution for preventive maintenance of wind turbines and railway axles
Jul 7, 2025
The monitoring and maintenance of wind turbines, especially in the offshore sector, is often challenging and cost-intensive. With an average of only one to two inspections per year, conventional maintenance methods are often insufficient to detect mechanical damage at an early stage and avoid expensive failures.
This is where the innovative WearDetect solution comes in: The proven Oil Debris Sensors enable continuous monitoring of turbine wear directly during operation. Already installed in thousands of wind turbines worldwide, the sensors are an indispensable tool in the fight against costly damage and unplanned downtime.
Maintaining the reliability of railroad train axles is critical to both safety and operational efficiency. While traditional methods such as manual inspections and regular oil sampling play an important role, they can miss early signs of wear, which can lead to unexpected downtime or failures. Research has shown that the rail infrastructure environment can significantly affect the rate of axle wear. Rail networks with varying gradients tend to have higher axle wear than flatter urban areas.
Real-time detection of axle wear is essential to prevent unexpected failures, minimize downtime and maintain the highest safety standards in rail operations.
Advantages at a glance:
- Early detection of turbine failures by measuring ferrous abrasion particles
- Reliable monitoring without moving parts, ideal for hard-to-reach offshore locations
- No regular maintenance required, high reliability
- Remote maintenance possible: Connection to PLC or condition monitoring systems for remote monitoring. Get in touch with us!
- Additional options to measure temperature and dielectric properties of the oil to detect water or missing oil
WearDetect offers (not only) wind energy operators a cost-effective solution for preventive maintenance that enables potential damage to be detected at an early stage and expensive repairs to be avoided. The system is easy to install, requires little maintenance and provides reliable data for efficient turbine monitoring.
As a successful provider of a wide range of solutions for over 30 years, disynet GmbH also has various acceleration sensors for vibration monitoring in its portfolio.
