Grease for pitch and yaw bearings

Our durable pitch bearing grease (also called “Duro Wind PBG”) is a lubricant specifically purposed for non-continuously rotating bearing arrangements in wind turbines. These include pitch and yaw bearings, as they do not require a continuous rotation of the bearings during operation. The oscillating movements in small pitch angle and the extreme loads exerted by the rotor blades place highest demands on so-called pitch bearings. And this is where our wind grease comes into play.

Developed and tested

By optimally adapting to the high requirements in terms of sliding and mixed friction, our durable pitch bearing grease significantly improves the lubrication properties of pitch and yaw bearings. The special wind grease provides maximum support for rotor blade bearings with optimised lubrication features.

Extending wind turbine life

As a high-performance grease for the initial and relubrication of pitch bearings in wind turbines our Duro Wind PBG contributes to a longer service life of your wind turbine. By carefully examining the grease for optimal adaption to your wind turbine, you get a product tailored to your needs.

Wear protection: long service life

Lubricant formulation provides very low wear and longer bearing service life due to effective lubrication.

Corrosion protection: less downtime

Excellent performance protection against all types of corrosion, such as moisture corrosion and false brinelling.

Good usability for low temperatures

Proven low and high temperature formulation. The grease provides excellent temperature behaviour, low torque and easy start-up.

Durable pitch bearing grease: perfect lubrication for pitch and yaw bearings

Duro Wind PBG: known for its durability

Pitch and yaw bearings have a slow rotational speed with a tendency to boundary and mixed friction in rolling contact. This is where specialisation is a proven advantage!

  • Extreme pressure potential according to ISO 281, quantified through our benchmark
  • Liebherr durable pitch bearing grease with special additivation for mixed friction (κ < 1)
  • Duro Wind PBG optimally exploits the extreme pressure potential in the range K < 1.0.
  • High pumpability in automatic grease systems at low temperature
  • Use of effective extreme pressure additives has beneficial smoothing effect on contact surfaces

Composition matters!

The Liebherr durable pitch bearing grease is walk-stable, resistant to oxidation and water, and has excellent anti-corrosion and anti-wear properties.

By using high-quality synthetic oils, white solid lubricants and special EP additives, as well as the evaluated VCI corrosion inhibitor, the durable pitch bearing grease by Liebherr offers excellent protection against wear and moisture corrosion even under heavy loads and effectively reduces false brinelling damage.

Testing makes all the difference

The performance of this new lubricant has been quantified by means of extensive tests with independent institutes in order to meet the benchmark of common pitch bearing greases.

The result of this benchmark test, which includes wear protection, low-temperature properties and false brinneling tendency, shows significant differences between the individual lubricants.

The series of tests have shown that the best possible pitch bearing is not just based on optimum design, but a combination with an application-specific lubricant.
