Lubricating the core – Choosing the right grease for drivetrain bearings

Lubrication plays a key role in the long-term performance of wind turbines. For critical drivetrain components like main shaft and generator bearings, selecting and applying the right grease can help minimise wear and extend maintenance.

Tougher bearings for tougher conditions – SKF DuraPro for wind turbine main shafts

Out in the North Sea, a wind turbine keeps turning, no matter the wind, rain, or crashing waves. But inside, where no one sees, many components keep it running, and few are as critical as the main shaft bearing. If it wears down prematurely, performance declines, maintenance costs rise, and in the worst cases, unplanned downtime follows.
