The location of wind turbines intentionally in extreme conditions puts the highest demands on bearings, gears, and lubricants. Operators of wind power plants need speciality lubricants that perform reliably, protect components and provide extended maintenance intervals.
Foaming
The tendency of an oil to foam reduces its lubricating properties. Klübersynth GEM 4-320 N overcomes this problem with its excellent anti-foaming properties as demonstrated in the Flender foam test. Furthermore, it also fulfills the filtration test requirements of CC Jensen and Hydac.
Micro pitting
Operators are often faced with micro pitting, which bears a risk of follow-up failures. With its advanced additives, Klübersynth GEM 4-320 N offers a high micro pitting resistance of load stage ≥ LS 10 (GFT “High”) according to FVA 54/7 over a wide temperature range. Furthermore, it maintains a GFT “High” result even after more than 6 years of use in the gearbox.
Residue formation
Some gear oils contain additives that may break down, form residues and cause problems in operation. Our product has been developed as a combination of carefully tuned pure base oils and advanced additive technologies ensuring minimum residue formation.
Bearing wears
The right gear oil contributes decisively to preventing bearing failures and replacements. Klübersynth GEM 4-320 N passed the most demanding FAG 4 stage test with excellent results, confirming the optimum bearing protection of this oil against wear and premature fatigue.
