Wind Energy

Our engineers are applying their expertise in vibration, shock and motion control to the wind turbine industry. Thorough collaborative relationships, we're helping our customers achieve lower capital, operating and maintenance costs.

Applicable to:

Towers – LORD Fluidlastic dampers on towers mitigate vibration and enable towers to be built using lighter construction materials.

Drivetrain/Driveline – LORD couplings reduce the vibratory loads on gearboxes, lowering operating and maintenance costs.

Blades – LORD offers a complete line of structural adhesives for composite blade bonding including room-temperature curing adhesives, which allow for the most efficient processing and lower energy costs. 

These are just a few examples of innovative LORD solutions. Our expanding technology portfolio can provide unique solutions for your business needs . . .  Ask Us How.

Features & Benefits

Lower capital costs — enables wind turbines to be built using lighter construction materials, saving on material transportation and erection costs.

Lower operating and maintenance costs — isolates loads that cause premature gearbox bearing failures where warranty repairs can easily reach hundreds of thousands of dollars per turbine.
