A main shaft fixture for fixing a main shaft on a wind turbine during installation and repair work on heavy parts of the wind turbine nacelle, in the case where the fixture is formed of several sections for mounting on stable structural parts in the nacelle, including the nacelle's bottom frame. The main shaft fixture has adjustable pressure mandrels with tap shoes, which cause the fixture to be usable regardless of the turbine main shaft geometry, such that it can be mounted without fixing the rotor. The main shaft fixture also has facilities for mounting of a lightweight crane and a self-hoisting crane with a ground-based winch, respectively, as well as a rotor lock which, in combination with actuators of the main shaft fixture, enables the main shaft and the main shaft bearing to be sufficiently displaced vertically from its bearing in the nacelle to service or replace the bearing.

Wheel clamp

When a wheel clamp is used, width of a wheel is detected first, a first servo motor drives a lead screw to rotate, a supporting block and a lifting plate are automatically adjusted to appropriate heights via a nut, a manipulator puts the wheel onto end face blocks, air-tight devices are pressed down, an oil cylinder drives a chuck so that clamping jaws expand the central hole of the wheel, meanwhile, four air cylinders drive clamping blocks to compact outer side of the wheel, and the wheel is completely positioned; at this moment, a bolt hole of the wheel can be drilled; after machining, second servo motor drives right shaft, right lug plate and a turnover part to rotate certain angles via second decelerator; high pressure oil is introduced into cavities between ipsilateral expansion sleeves and end covers, and left and right shafts are separately locked by ipsilateral expansion sleeves.
