Why a good lubrication strategy is key to long-lasting turbine bearings

Paul Dvorak, Founding Editor of Windpower Engineering & Development, visits The Timken Company’s Ohio headquarters. He sits down with Doug Lucas, Timken’s Advanced Engineering Technologist, to discuss wind-turbine bearings and the importance of proper lubrication. Since wind turbines typically operate under harsh conditions, it is important to plan a good O&M strategy. Doug touches on the oil & lubricant maintenance challenges that occur with turbine bearings, compares manual and automatic lubrication approaches, and discusses new types of oils available in the industry.
