Klüber Lubrication

Long-term protection under extreme conditions

Wind turbines are frequently located in extreme environments whether floating or fixed and are constantly subjected to high loads. Under these harsh conditions gearboxes and bearings face continuous and intense strain, which can have a significant impact on the reliability of the turbines. Trouble-free operation is crucial to wind plant operators, but maintenance is an arduous task and only performed when necessary. For this reason, wind power plant operators need specialty lubricants which perform reliably, protect components and provide extended maintenance intervals.

Specialty lubricants for wind turbines represent a minor investment but can bring tremendous benefits. Our flushing greases deliver up to 40 per cent less downtime in generators and we offer a universal maintenance grease that’s suitable for all bearings. Our high-performance gear oils offer a good load-carrying capacity and ageing resistance as well as low friction. Furthermore, specialty greases are available for main bearings, blade bearings, generator bearings and yaw bearings.
