ORISONIC bolt axial force testing
Retorquing every bolt on a schedule tells you nothing about the bolts that are actually loose, and it wears the threads of the ones that are fine. The ORIBOLT X system by ORISONIC measures the real axial force in each installed bolt, without contact and without disassembly, so a bolting campaign is directed only at the joints that need it.
Every bolt, not a sample. We can test a complete flange in one visit and report the axial force of each bolt, showing under-tightening and missed bolts. A record that follows the turbine. Each measurement is stored per bolt, so the next inspection shows the trend.
- Measure every bolt
- Store per bolt
- Report per flange
- Retighten only flagged bolts
ORIBOLT X Series
The ORIBOLT X series measures bolt axial force with advanced electromagnetic ultrasonic (EMAT) sensors and the dual-wave principle. It directly measures the absolute axial force (preload) of bolts in service, quickly identifies loose and broken bolts, and greatly reduces labour, downtime and maintenance costs.
- Direct measurement of the absolute bolt axial force (preload). Loose and broken bolts identified fast, no more relying on torque.
- Greatly reduces maintenance time, labour and downtime costs.
- EMAT technology, unlike piezoelectric ultrasound: no grinding, no couplant, no adhesive patches. Simple to use, low cost.
- Contributed to drafting GB/T 43232-2023, Ultrasonic measurement method for axial stress of fasteners.

WindX UCP-GNE silent yaw pads and brake pads
Yaw brake noise and vibration are among the most common recurring faults we see on ageing fleets, and the usual fix is a temporary one. We supply and fit WindX UCP-GNE composite yaw pads and brake pads that hold a stable friction coefficient over their service life, protect the friction disc and remove the vibration at its source. Fits are available for Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, GE, Goldwind, Envision and other mainstream platforms.
WindX UCP-GNE silent yaw pads and brake pads replace greased sliding liners and metal-filled brake pads with a nano-composite material. Made by GreenIdea, the series needs no grease and holds a stable friction coefficient over its service life.
No grease needed
A stable friction coefficient, 0.10 to 0.14 for RD-JZ yaw pads. No added grease.
Cold and oil resistant
Performance unchanged below −40 °C and not affected by gear or lubricating oil. Water absorption 0.001 %.
Wear resistant
Wear rate of 1 µm/km for RD-JZ yaw pads, in a nano-composite polymer material.
Matched per turbine
Upper and lower pads are specified per turbine platform. Fit lists below.
Performance figures are manufacturer data from GreenIdea New Energy for the WindX UCP-GNE product line. Independent SGS test reports on the GreenIdea materials are available on request. These are product test reports, not company certifications.

WindX UCP-HNH blade monitoring
A blade fault shows up in two places before it becomes a tower strike: the tip clearance and the sound.
- Cameras and edge computing in the nacelle measure tip clearance in real time.
- Acoustic sensors compare the fingerprint of the three blades against each other.
- When one blade drifts, the owner knows which one and how fast, with the data stored per blade for warranty and insurance discussions.
Supplied and installed by WindX UCP with Hanenghua Technology; monitoring data available through the owner’s SCADA or a standalone dashboard.
Arc flash protection
Electrical faults are the leading cause of turbine fires, and a nacelle fire is a total loss. We fit active arc flash protection that senses temperature and smoke and trips the fault in milliseconds. The units are built for the vibration and dust of a nacelle, install without rewiring, and report their status remotely.
- Plug-and-play modules with remote status reporting.
