Fuchs Wind Power Division products series
Special Lubricants for Wind Power Applications Made by Fuchs Lubritech and Fuchs Europe in a Powerful Partnership. |
|
| Today’s most demanding applications for lubricants can be found in wind power plants. Gearboxes, main bearings, pitch and yaw bearings with the drives and toothing systems, hydraulic systems and generators are expensive machine elements or parts. It is costly and highly problematic to change these components after they have been installed in the nacelle on top of the turbine. To avoid malfunctions and premature breakdowns of wind power plants, the Fuchs Wind Power Division offers a complete range of special lubricants – greases made by Fuchs Lubritech and fluids made by Fuchs Europe. These are especially developed and precisely balanced to protect all of the mechanical components of today’s wind power plants.

| Different participants in the world of wind power have different requirements in terms of the performance of lubricants. Manufacturers of wind turbines and related parts want to have lubricants with the best performance and longest lifetime. Long-term guarantees often can be decisive in this business.

Greases In addition to the requirements of the manufacturers, wind power plant operators often like to have ‘multipurpose greases’ that have a high performance but are easy to handle. Their main focus on avoiding too many different lubricants is to prevent possible ‘mix-ups’ of the different greases for bearings and toothing systems, for example. They like a ‘one-for-all’ grease, even if it is not easy to create in practice. |
