Lubrication solutions for main gearboxes

Challenges for the
main gearbox of wind turbines:

  • High wear protection requirements with different mixed friction conditions and extremely high loads​
  • High corrosion requirements
  • Different temperature conditions
  • Material compatibility

Main characteristics to solve the challenges: 

  • Selected base oils to solve lifetime requirements and material compatibility
  • Well balanced formulations for robustness and highest mechanical performance
