Lubrication solutions for pitch & yaw bearings
Challenges for pitch & yaw
bearings of wind turbines:
- Small adjustment movements, vibrations and high humidity (especially for off-shore turbines)
- High torques
- Low temperature conditions
- Lifetime lubrication
Main characteristics to solve the challenges:
- Formulation designed to meet lifetime lubrication requirements
- White solid lubricants dampening vibrations which help to minimize wear (surface protection)
- Very good low temperature behavior
