Lubrication Basics
Grease Lubrication Solutions for Wind Turbines
Why consider Automatic Lubrication?
- Extended service intervals can be achieved by eliminating manual point by point lubrication
- Minimizing the time required with manual lubrication results in better utilization of the technicians time
- Automatic Lubrication Systems will operate reliably in either harsh or favorable environmental conditions
- Reduce wear & tear on expensive bearings and components means improved wind turbine reliability and uptime
- Typically, automatic systems reduces lubricant consumption when compared to manual lubrication methods

*Studies by a major bearing manufacturer show that over 50% of bearings are replaced prematurely due to inadequate lubrication or contamination
Lincoln Lubrication Systems improve turbine reliability by:
- Delivering smaller amounts of grease, more frequently
- Ensuring the right amount of grease is maintained at the bearing points
