MOLYKOTE® Specialty Lubricants for Wind Turbines

Molykote specialty lubricants and sealants for maintenance and production of industrial wind turbines
help improve assembly quality, safety, and reliability with proper tightening. Lower the cost of wind turbine maintenance by preventing wind turbine rust, avoiding bolt failure, and reducing service costs. Use Molykote wind turbine lubricant for strong threaded connections, bearings, sealing, and bonding on:
 

• Nacelle frame joints
• Front and rear main journal bearings
• Pitch bearing fasten bolts.
• Gearbox, driver, and cooler units
• Yaw bearing fasten bolts.
• Tower segment flange bolts
• Foundation anchor bolts
• Outer sealing of the housing
• Inner sealing of the housing
• Shell made of Fiber Reinforced Plastic

Safe and reliable wind turbines depend on strong treaded connections and proper lubrication of bearings, sealing, and bonding.

Wind turbines present frequent problems with threaded connections such as: tightening difficulties and thread damage, inconsistent or loose clamping force, broken bolts, and base parts, such as flanges or plates, and difficulty disassembly and destroyed threads.

Good Lubrication can help reduce torque resistance, prevent damage, and improve clamping force on several different-sized threaded connections on wind turbines. At the same time, good lubricants for bolts and fasteners can help solve problems and increase reliability by reducing the effects of root causes, including:
 

• Seizure and abrase wear
• Uneven coefficient of friction
• Fretting corrosion
• Embrittlement failures of substrates due to the use of low-melting-point metals, such as lead, tin, and copper
• Stress corrosion cracking
