Low friction coatings tech news
On June 22, 2026, WindMotion Systems introduced "Aero--Glide 360," a specialized low--friction coating for wind turbine pitch bearings. The coating employs a graphene--reinforced polymer matrix to reduce rotational resistance by 18% compared to standard industrial lubricants. This advancement allows for more precise blade pitch adjustments in variable wind conditions, increasing annual energy production (AEP) by 1.5% while extending maintenance intervals for offshore installations.
