Manufacturer's description
Mobil SHC™ Gear 320 WindPower is an advanced, high-performance synthetic wind turbine gear oil formulated with ExxonMobil's metallocene polyalphaolefin (mPAO) synthetic base oil and proprietary additive technology. It is engineered to provide optimum equipment protection and maximize lubricant life in wind turbine gearboxes, with increased lubrication film thickness that gives outstanding wear protection and higher load-carrying capacity, helping prevent surface fatigue failures. The oil is certified by DNV to not contribute to oil-related White Etching Crack (WEC) effects, and — when used together with Mobil Xtra™ EP WT top-treat additive — has demonstrated fill-for-life capability through accelerated ageing testing, with DNV certifying its suitability for use throughout a 25-year wind turbine gearbox lifetime. It also offers superb protection against micropitting fatigue wear, high resistance to traditional scuffing, outstanding foam protection even after fine filtration, and a low-sulfur formulation for compatibility with yellow metals and soft coatings. The product was developed in accordance with APQP4Wind standards and best practices. Mobil SHC Gear 320 WindPower is recommended primarily for wind turbine main gearboxes, as well as auxiliary gearboxes such as pitch and yaw drive gear motors, and heavily loaded gearboxes with surface-hardened tooth metallurgies subject to micropitting. It meets or exceeds IEC 61400-4, AGMA 9005-F16 AS, DIN 51517-3 and ISO 12925-1 (L-CKD, L-CKSMP, L-CTPR) requirements, and is non-toxic to aquatic organisms per the GESAMP hazard evaluation procedure.
Applications
- Mobil SHC Gear 320 WindPower advanced wind turbine gear lubricant is primarily recommended for lubrication of the main gearbox in wind turbines. It is also recommended for applications subject to micropitting, especially heavily loaded gearboxes with surface-hardened tooth metallurgies, which are typically used in wind turbines. It may also be used in gear applications where extreme low and/or high temperatures are encountered. Typical applications include: • Wind turbine main gearboxes • Auxiliary gearboxes in wind turbines, such as gear motors for pitch and yaw drives Application consideration: while Mobil SHC Gear 320 WindPower is compatible with most widely used wind turbine gear oil products, it is recommended that systems are thoroughly cleaned out and flushed before switching to Mobil SHC Gear 320 WindPower to achieve the maximum performance benefits.
