Wind Energy: Protection for Gearboxes and Bearings

In the wind energy sector, extending the service life of turbines is critical. The replacement or renewal of system components, such as gearboxes and bearings, represents a significant and often costly challenge for operators. To address this, over 3,000 wind turbines worldwide are already benefiting from REWITEC® technology, which optimizes performance, reduces wear, and increases the reliability of wind turbine components.

Key Statistic: Over 3,000 wind turbines worldwide rely on REWITEC® solutions to extend service life and reduce maintenance costs.

Trusted by Operators and Supported by Science

REWITEC® products are trusted by many leading wind turbine manufacturers and operators who use them regularly to maintain and enhance their systems. Scientific studies and independent reports have demonstrated that our patented silicate-based formulations improve the smooth operation of main gears while significantly reducing wear. Operators, maintenance teams, and service providers have observed how REWITEC® helps minimize downtime, extend the lifespan of components, and reduce the overall cost of operations.

DuraGear® W100: Tailored for the Wind Industry

One of our most popular products, DuraGear® W100, is specifically designed for the unique needs of the wind energy sector. By reducing friction and repairing wear, DuraGear® W100 protects all moving parts in a turbine, extending their life right through to scheduled repowering. Operators can better plan gearbox replacements and align them with low-wind periods, avoiding unexpected expenses or disruptions to energy production.

Why Choose DuraGear® W100? This product allows operators to maintain reliable performance over the long term without requiring additional investments in new gearboxes.

GR400: High-Temperature Grease for Bearings and Gears

The GR400 high-temperature grease has been used for many years to protect critical components such as pitch, generator, and main bearings, as well as azimuth and pitch gears. This advanced solution is effective even in heavily stressed systems, offering both preventive and restorative benefits. For newer turbines, the grease reduces friction and prevents the onset of damage, while in older systems it repairs wear and refines surfaces, ensuring smooth operation and extending the service life of components.

Results That Speak for Themselves

Using REWITEC® products delivers clear results for operators and maintenance teams:

  • Components last longer, reducing the frequency and cost of replacements.
  • Surface refinement can repair damage caused by wear, enabling smoother operation.
  • Bearings and gears show better performance in condition monitoring system (CMS) data.
  • Friction reduction ensures that damage is minimized even in newer systems, preventing premature failures.
