The analysis of factors that affect the micro-pitting of wind turbine gears was conducted. In general, to avoid micro pitting, not only lubricating factors should be paid more attention but also the manufacturing and design factors shouldn’t be omitted. It was suggested that some improving measurements which can increase the micro pitting resistance of gear flanks should be used in wind turbine gearboxes.
