In this seminar, you will learn how to reliably distinguish between different types of lubricants and select the optimal lubricant for economical and reliable plant operation. One focus is on extending oil change intervals and reducing costs through better filtration and oil maintenance. You will learn how to detect wear at an early stage, take meaningful oil samples and use oil analyses for proactive maintenance. We also provide you with important warning and limit values for assessing gear damage and lubricant conditions.
In addition, you will gain practical insights into the advantages of multi-grade hydraulic oils and strategies for simplifying grease selection and optimising relubrication intervals. This allows you to expand your specialist knowledge in a targeted manner and ensure the reliable operation of your wind turbines.
