Automatic Lubrication Systems for Wind Turbines

Wind energy systems, like any mechanical system, need proper lubrication to work optimally. Vibration, high mechanical loads, contamination and moisture threaten bearing and gear life. However, wind turbines can be demanding and expensive to maintain. They can reach more than 100 meters from the ground and are usually located in remote and hard-to-reach places.

Discover how lubrication systems help optimize wind farm performance.

Increase the efficiency of your Wind Farm with RAASM lubrication systems

The solution is an automatic lubrication system. Compared to manual lubrication, automatic lubrication systems provide more reliable and precise lubrication feed to the moving components in the engine bearing. Automatic lubrication systems reliably deliver the least effective amount of lubricant to all friction points while the machine is running, reducing friction in the bearings and helping prevent contamination.

The result is long-term optimized bearing life, more turbine uptime and reduced manpower costs, all to make wind farms more profitable.

Thousands of wind turbines in the world operate more reliably and efficiently thanks to RAASM automatic lubrication systems. In land and sea, from the deserts to the frozen tundra, wind farm operators benefit from precise automatic lubrication of critical moving components.
