A wind power plant (WPP) is a complex of equipment to transform wind power into electric, heat or mechanical one.
Advantages of using WWP:
- Possibility to transfer energy to any points no matter how far from the backbone lines they are located
- Compact dimensions
- Functioning without fuel or any other resources
- Possibility of autonomous operation due to available batteries
The WWP friction units function under conditions of high loads, vibrations, adverse atmospheric effects, and high rotation speeds.
The wind stations are complicated to be maintained because of their far locations and big height. That makesthe manufacturers of such devices choose the materials that implement the dry lubrication technology - the coatings by the Russian Modengy company.
MODENGY 1003 anti-friction solid-film coating is applied onto the slide bearings of the wind power plants swivel blades. Due to its high load carrying capacity, it works great in the heavily loaded sliding friction unit of the metal-to-metal pair.
The wide service temperature range of the coating (-70 to +260 °С) enables to successfully operate the wind power plants in any climatic zones.
The coating is not washed out, neither evaporates nor is squeezed out of the friction zone at high contact loads unlike the conventional greases. Due to this, the bearing unit treated with MODENGY 1003 product requires no maintenance. The coating reduces friction and wear, and provides lubrication for the whole service period of the mechanism.
This product is applied by a technologically easy painting method, cures at room temperature. This enables to apply the coating for the large-dimension slide bearings.
