Mobil (Hall 6, #369) SHC Gear 320 WindPower proprietary technology and in-service solutions are designed to protect gearboxes, maintain excellent performance in all conditions, optimize uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance safety throughout the gearbox’s lifetime. Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT is a fully synthetic, advanced wind turbine gear lubricant designed to protect gearboxes under extreme conditions — from very low to very high temperatures and corrosive environments.

Around 60 percent of the wind turbine high speed bearing failures are reported to be caused by White Etching Cracking (WEC), a subsurface fatigue damage (cracks) that can occur without warning. This can result in premature bearing failure and can even require gearbox replacement, causing unscheduled downtime. Following a study to evaluate the impact of different lubricant technologies, DNV-GL - the world leading certification body - concluded that Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT, as the first wind turbine gear oil that obtained their certification, does not contribute to the oil related effects of WEC. Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT meets or exceeds all lube oil requirements of IEC 61400-4 and in particular the cleanliness requirements of -/14/11 max. which helps reduce wear damage from hard particles and can help reduce the need for filtration on initial filling. Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT contains novel, step-out, proprietary additive technology designed to offer new standards of resistance against micropitting fatigue and outstanding rust and corrosion protection. Fortified with new, low sulphur, extreme pressure technology Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT shows a very low tendency for sludge and deposit formation, helping reduce maintenance and allowing you to generate more electricity at lower costs.
