The loads acting on wind turbines and their components are extremely high, and it is extremely important to choose the right lubricant for initial lubrication and during operation, which can provide significant benefits in terms of maintenance intervals, service life and operating costs.
In wind turbines, critical lubrication points include the main gearbox, drive reduction gearbox, main bearings, generator bearings, yaw bearings, pitch bearings and slip rings.
Optimized lubricants have the following characteristics:
- Optimal performance at all times during extremely long service life
- Effective efficiency and economy
- Very high load and thermal stress tolerance
- Extended maintenance and lubrication intervals
- Reduced failure rates and extended service life
