Wind turbines often stand atop high-altitude mountain ridges or boundless seas. The gearbox is housed in the nacelle dozens of meters above ground, making an oil change a massive undertaking.
Inadequate gear oil can lead to abrasion and coking at the mildest, or unplanned shutdowns and major overhauls at worst. Every halt translates to substantial financial losses.
AMER Fully Synthetic Long-Life Gear Oil SXP (hereinafter referred to as AMER SXP) is a high-performance fully synthetic industrial gear oil worthy of renewed attention.
Reliable Performance Across -30℃ to 150℃, Resisting Extreme Temperature Swings
Wind farms in northern regions face frigid winters. Conventional gear oil thickens severely, hindering motor rotation and startup difficulties. In hot summers, ordinary oil thins out, resulting in weakened oil film strength.
Formulated with wax-free PAO base stock, AMER SXP delivers outstanding low-temperature fluidity for smooth startup at -30℃. Its high viscosity index maintains stable viscosity even at 150℃. It delivers consistent, dependable protection from extreme cold to scorching heat.
Superior Anti-Wear Performance Under Shock Loads
Wind loads fluctuate constantly, subjecting gearboxes to sudden heavy impacts. Ordinary oil films are prone to rupture, triggering metallic wear.
AMER SXP combines proprietary additive technology with reinforced PAO base oil to deliver exceptional extreme-pressure and anti-wear properties. It achieves zero roller wear in the FAG FE-8 bearing wear test, ensuring comprehensive protection for gears and bearings amid variable shock loads on wind turbines.
Strong Oil Film Adhesion for Uninterrupted Continuous Protection
Under high rotating speeds or heavy loads, the oil film of conventional gear oil is easily squeezed away from friction surfaces, causing temporary loss of lubrication protection.
Boasting robust adhesion, AMER SXP firmly clings to gear surfaces under high speed and heavy loads and resists displacement, delivering non-stop lubrication protection.
Additional Key Advantages
• FLENDER approved
• Anti-micropitting property prevents premature gear surface damage and extends gearbox service life
• Service life several times longer than standard mineral gear oils, cutting downtime for oil replacement
• Excellent water separation performance to resist emulsification upon water ingress
• Outstanding thermal stability; no coking or sediment under long-term high-temperature operation, keeping gears and bearings clean
Recommended Applications
Suitable for wind turbine gearboxes, spur gears, bevel gears and planetary gears;
Industrial gearboxes operating under high speed, shock loads and heavy loads;
Working conditions requiring pour point below -30℃ or operating temperature exceeding 120℃;
Equipment with complicated disassembly, difficult oil change access and demand for ultra-long oil drain intervals.
Gear oil safeguards every rotation of the gearbox. The right lubricant means fewer turbine shutdowns, lower maintenance costs and prolonged power output.
