RENEWABLE ENERGY
Sustainable lubricants play a key role in the future of wind energy
Wind operators
are turning to eco- comptiable solutions
Klüberbio LG 39-701 N reduces the number of lubricants required in a turbine by ensuring operators only need one grease for the best yaw bearing and open gear protection at all required operation temperatures. It provides outstanding wear protection for bearings and open gears, and torque reduction, and is material compatible (PA6 or PTFE on steel). It is also suitable for yaw roller bearings.
FUTURE-PROOF LUBRICATION SOLUTIONS To date, there are no binding regulations for environmentally sustainable lubricants to be used in the wind power sector. However, such regulations are expected

to emerge as the demand for wind power continues to grow. Klüber’s long-standing experience in the marine industry with its strict regulations and inspection procedures has many similarities to the wind power sector, so the company is well placed to help wind operators get the most from their turbines. Its experience developing biologically degradable products for use in yaw bearings, yaw gears and blade pitch bearings perfectly combine high performance and environmental protection. T e fi rm off ers advanced, eco- compatible lubrication solutions for the off shore market that have already proven their worth in comparable industries and off er outstanding performance parameters. As a company, Klüber is constantly striving for its own continuous improvement and since March 2022 has met the requirements of the EcoVadis Gold Rating, ranking it among the best 6% of companies under that scheme in terms of compliance with environmental standards, sustainable purchasing, and other requirements.
Unplanned maintenance of turbine technology can be very expensive
Partnering with Klüber enables wind operators across the world to achieve their ambitions for improved performance whilst demonstrating their sense of responsibility for the environment; both now and tomorrow.
