Title: Gearbox Reliability Collaborative High Speed Shaft Tapered Roller Bearing Calibration

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1107454· OSTI ID:1107454

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Gearbox Reliability Collaborative (GRC) is a project investigating gearbox reliability primarily through testing and modeling. Previous dynamometer testing focused upon acquiring measurements in the planetary section of the test gearbox. Prior to these tests, the strain gages installed on the planetary bearings were calibrated in a load frame.
