ExxonMobil Technology & Engineering Company (EMTEC) and Schaeffler co-author groundbreaking study on white edge cracking

White etching cracking (WEC) is a premature bearing failure in wind turbines — and it can’t be explained by mechanical or lubrication factors alone. Find out how hydrogen diffusion plays a key role in WEC formation.

DOE Funded Project: Protective Coatings that Manufacture Themselves

In collaboration with Argonne, UPenn, Lanxess, and Pixelligent, ExxonMobil is helping pioneer advanced surface technologies that enhance durability and extend equipment life.

DOE awards $1.9 million grant for next-gen lubricants

As Pixelligent Technologies receives $1.9 million DOE grant, ExxonMobil is playing a key role in exploring innovative lubricants and additive formulations for wind turbine gearboxes to advance performance under extreme loads and extend operating life.

Collaborative research on wind turbine lubricants

A $3.15 million award from the DOE is supporting work with Argonne, UPenn, GE Vernova, and Pixelligent. Together, we’re exploring new lubricant technologies for wind turbines.

NREL Collaboration: Assessing the potential of gear oil improvements

ExxonMobil is working closely with NREL to evaluate how advancements in gear oil technology can reduce wind turbine maintenance costs.

Partnering with Kingsbury Bearings

Bearing losses are significant in the power generation sector where small changes in efficiency can scale rapidly. We’re partnering with Kingsbury Bearings to explore how to reduce power losses in tilting pad bearings.

WEICan collaboration: Lubricants at work in the field

ExxonMobil is working with WEICan to explore the real-world performance of advanced lubricants and offer strategies to address challenges like foaming and grease clogging.

Understanding White Etch Cracking

In collaboration with the University of Southampton, ExxonMobil is driving deeper understanding of White Etch Crack (WEC) formation in wind turbines.

Understanding the role of lubricants in wind turbine maintenance strategies

Looking to reduce downtime, optimize costs, and support data-driven decision-making for your wind turbines? We worked with American Clean Power to develop a technical guide to proper lubrication management.
