[0002] Bearings are components in mechanical transmissions that reduce friction and wear and are widely used in various rotating shaft systems. However, wind turbine shafts operate outdoors year-round, subject to harsh working conditions, large temperature and humidity fluctuations, and periodically changing alternating loads, making them more susceptible to failure. Therefore, failure to monitor bearing status in real time and address it promptly can ultimately lead to bearing failure, fatally impacting equipment safety and reliability, resulting in serious safety incidents and significant economic losses. Given the difficulty and high cost of collecting data on wind turbine main bearings in the field, a small bearing loading test bench is needed to verify that bearings meet operating requirements during the development phase.

At the same time, most wind turbine bearing testing machines can only perform axial loading, which makes it difficult to simulate the actual stress state of the test bearing.

[0047] In some possible implementations, the main shaft 6 is a stepped shaft, and the first shoulder 62 of the stepped shaft is located inside the second groove 61 and the pressing end cover 753 .

[0048] Those skilled in the art can understand that because the main shaft 6 is a stepped shaft, the first shoulder 62 of the stepped shaft is located on the inner side of the second groove 61 and the clamping end cover 753, so that the first shoulder can clamp the clamping end cover 753, thereby fixing the clamping end cover 753 and preventing it from moving laterally.

[0049] In some possible embodiments, the first fixing mechanism 5 and the second fixing mechanism 8 are a vertical optical axis bracket seat 10, and fasteners 101 are provided in the circular holes on the upper ends of both sides of the vertical optical axis bracket seat 10, and the central circular hole of the vertical optical axis bracket seat 10 is provided with a bearing 102, and the outer ring of the bearing 102 is fitted with the central circular hole, and the inner ring of the bearing 102 is fitted with the outer ring of the main shaft 6.

The pressure value of each fixing bolt 754 can be monitored in real time.
