An arrangement forming a lubricant circuit includes at least one lubricant line, at least one line branching that branches the lubricant line into a first branch and a second branch. The arrangement further includes at least one lubricant reservoir integrated into the first branch, and at least one line junction where the first branch and the second branch merge. The first branch is lockable and releasable.

Continuous provision of a valid lubricant sample

A method for determining total damage to at least one rotating component of a drive train in a system, in particular a wind or wave energy system, includes determining over time during operation of the system a variable characterizing a rotational speed of the component and a variable characterizing a torque transmitted by the component. A load collective is determined in a calculator unit from the temporal progression of the variables, and the total damage is determined from a comparison of the determined load collective and a reference load collective.

A gear transmission having at least one gear wheel stage, wherein at least one of the gear wheels is fastened coaxially on a hollow shaft that is rotatably mounted in a transmission housing via at least two shaft bearings. An outside-radial stage offset is formed on the hollow shaft as a seat for a broad rim gear wheel that approaches the plant radially on the inside.
