    Specialty lubricants for clean energy wind power

    With the increasing demand for energy in the world, to solve lubrication problems is essential in clean energy wind power equipment. The wind turbine and its components are specially exposed to high load. The most important thing is to choose the right lubricant for the initial lubrication or operating. The selection of high-performance lubricants can increase the benefit of reducing the operation cost and increasing the equipment service life.

  • Cooperation with wind power equipment manufacturers

    In accordance with the demand, cooperation of product application

    Because of the increasing demand for wind power, special lubricants is required for major components. We provide lubrication solutions for the renewable industry and equipment manufacturers are welcomed to visit our company for technical cooperation.

Critical lubrication parts in wind turbine

Critical components in a wind turbine are the main gearbox, yaw bearing and drive, main bearings, generator bearings, slip rings and blade pitch mechanism.
Best choice of lubricants offer many benefits such as working stability.
