Synthetics Get More Work Out of Wind Turbines
Wind turbine nacelles are challenging environments for drivetrains. Input forces (wind captured by blades) can vary ±20% in the span of just three seconds. Unstable drivetrain foundations generate misalignments and additional stress. And the moisture levels and temperatures extremes outdoors are generally worse than in factories. To minimize maintenance, lubrication trends have shifted from mineral…
