Abstract: A testing device includes a drive unit and an output unit, which are connected together via first and second gearboxes. The testing device is configured to adjustably tilt and/or adjustably displace at least one of the first and second gearboxes for at least partially simultaneous testing of the first and second gearboxes.

Abstract: A drive system of a wind turbine includes a transmission gear configured to be connected to a wind rotor shaft, the transmission gear having a first planetary gear set and a second planetary gear set, and a generator downstream of the transmission gear. The transmission gear and the generator are mounted in sliding bearings.

Abstract: A measuring system for detecting variables on planet carriers of a planetary gear train having a plurality of planetary gear stages includes a first sensor which is arranged on one of the planet carriers of one of the planetary gear stages for detecting the variables of a planet gear rotationally connected to the at least one of the planet carriers. An electronics configured for arrangement on the planetary gear train is operably connected to the first sensor for supply of the first sensor with electrical energy.

Abstract: A drive train includes a gearbox having a gearbox housing, and a generator having a generator housing. A lubricating oil system including an oil reservoir lubricates toothed contact areas and/or bearings which are arranged within the gearbox housing. The oil reservoir is arranged within the generator housing or on an exterior side of the generator housing.

Abstract: A first and/or a second electrical machine is tested using a test apparatus that includes a torque transmitter having torque connections for the first and the second electrical machine and an electrical shaft having respective electrical connections for the first and the second electrical machine. The electrical shaft is designed to transmit at least five times as much electrical power between the respective electrical connections as can be supplied by a supply apparatus of the test apparatus from an external electrical energy source to the electrical shaft. This condition is assumed to be satisfied when the test apparatus lacks such a supply apparatus. A corresponding method using such test apparatus is also disclosed.
