Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for providing a secure tension connection, the apparatus including a fastener) with a flange for interaction with a shank, a plurality of lifting elements, and a plurality of spacers. Also provide is a wind turbine with such an apparatus, a tool for securing an apparatus and a method for providing a secure tension connection.

Abstract: The joint between the gearbox input shaft and the rotor rotation shaft is made with a banded flange that combines an interference joint between the horizontal surface of the rotor shaft (4) and the internal surface of the flange (5), with a bolted joint between the vertical surface of the flange (5) and the front surface of the body of the gearbox (4) corresponding to the low speed shaft. The interference joint adds a keyway between both surfaces with their corresponding key (9). Likewise included is an assembly method with a surface treatment at temperature T1, flange heating (5) in an oven at a temperature T2, a banding of the flange (5) on the rotor rotation shaft (4) having the keyway line up with the key (9), a subsequent cooling and finally a bolted joint between the flange (5) and the gearbox (3).

Abstract: A sealing arrangement for a bearing assembly. The sealing arrangement can include a static seal carrier coupled to a static component of the bearing assembly and including a first plurality of rings, a rotating seal carrier coupled to a rotating component of the bearing assembly and including a second plurality of rings, the first plurality of rings and the second plurality of rings disposed in an interdigitated arrangement so as to define a tortuous passageway therebetween, the tortuous passageway having one end in communication with a high pressure area of the bearing assembly and a second end in communication with a low pressure area of the bearing assembly, and a scraper seal coupled to the rotating seal carrier and disposed over the second end of the tortuous passageway.

Abstract: A system for in situ fastener preload measurement. The system includes a length measuring tool adapted to grip a fastener by the axially opposed ends of the fastener, and a computing device coupled to the length measuring tool and comprising a database and a display. The length measuring tool is provided with tips adapted to seat in indentations disposed in the axially opposed ends of the fastener, with the indentations having a shape complementary to the shape of the tips, and the indentations being disposed such that the deepest points of the indentations are axially opposite each other.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for helping to turn steerable wheels (12) of a vehicle comprises a hydraulic power-assisted steering gear (16). An electric motor (92) actuates the steering gear (16). A pump (84) supplies the steering gear (16) with hydraulic fluid. A vehicle speed sensor (102) senses vehicle speed and provides a vehicle speed signal. A controller (104) is responsive to the vehicle speed signal for controlling the pump (84). The controller (104) activates the pump (84) to supply hydraulic fluid to the steering gear (16) when the vehicle speed signal indicates a vehicle speed below a predetermined value and the controller (104) deactivating the pump (84) when the vehicle speed signal indicates a vehicle speed above the predetermined value.
