AMSOIL Open Gear Grease is engineered specifically for use in wind turbine pitch and yaw gears. Its unique combination of base oils, calcium-sulphonate-complex thickeners and carefully chosen additives solve common gear-tooth issues such as fretting, pitting, corrosion and the general lack of grease between heavily loaded gear sets. Open Gear Grease is a tacky grease that stays in place with exceptional tenacity due to a proprietary combination of additives. It protects against fretting from extreme cyclical loads and vibration while offering protection when the nacelle ratchets during backlash events and places heavy impact-type loads between gear teeth. Open Gear Grease’s highly tenacious formula creates thin filaments of grease that distribute across the gear face after meshing, increasing lubrication during the next pass. Open Gear Grease contains a combination of solid additives to provide additional protection and improved film thickness, which is critical in wind turbines to ensure separation of heavily loaded gears and to avoid damage.
