On-site Diagnostic Inspection of Flender-Graffenstaden TX40/1C

Advanced modal analysis of a 13.75 MW gearbox to identify root causes of noise, safeguarding the drivetrain against unnecessary overhaul.

Wikov Service executed a specialized on-site inspection of a high-speed Flender-Graffenstaden TX40/1C gearbox operating within the power generation sector. With a substantial power rating of 13,750 kW and high input speeds of 5,475 rpm, this unit is critical to the client's energy infrastructure. The intervention was triggered after the operator reported abnormal noise levels in the nominal speed range.

To identify the root cause with absolute precision, our specialists utilized advanced modal analysis rather than relying solely on visual inspection. This diagnostic data confirmed that the gearbox internals were in excellent condition, ruling out costly and unnecessary overhaul work. We successfully pinpointed the source of the noise to a faulty shaft coupling, demonstrating our ability to analyze the complete drivetrain and provide targeted solutions that save our clients time and resources.
