Product catalog summary
Introduction
Castrol® Tribol® GR SW 680-1 is a high-performance grease designed for wind turbine main bearings, meeting the demanding requirements of major OEMs and offering superior wear protection compared to competitors like Mobil® SHC 681 WT.
Specifications and Performance
The grease has been tested under various conditions, demonstrating superior performance in bearing wear tests, including ASTM D2596 and DIN 51819 standards. Key parameters include a 4-Ball EP Weld Load of 620 kg and a significant reduction in wear and torque compared to Mobil® SHC 681 WT.
Technology and Benefits
Tribol® GR SW 680-1 utilizes MicrofluxTrans Plastic Deformation technology (MFT PD) for enhanced surface smoothing and load resistance. This non-sacrificial technology extends re-lubrication intervals, reducing maintenance and costs while providing excellent protection against wear and water ingress.
Compatibility and Conversion
The grease is compatible with Mobil® SHC 681 WT and other major grease products, allowing for easy conversion during regular maintenance cycles without performance deterioration. It is also compatible with Hove A/S grease cartridges and pumps.
Availability and Support
With over 3000 turbines already converted, Castrol® Tribol® GR SW 680-1 is readily available for immediate shipping. For further information or to address supply chain concerns, contact David DiNunzio at Castrol®.
