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
