Customer Story One:
Customer Industry
Renewable Energy
Customer Problem
A prominent wind turbine manufacturer needed a direct drive lube pump designed to lubricate the turbine when driven either direction and had special porting requirements. Existing smaller turbine design required two lube oil pumps: one directly driven off the gearbox with one direction flow and a second electric driven pump to lube when the turbine back milled.
Viking OEM Solution
Viking used a catalog pump as basis element for the lube pump. Then a reversing head and
a helical gear direct drive arrangement was designed to provide bi-directional flow inside
a custom housing with a face ported inlet and NPT outlet.
Customer Benefit
Pump design matched to the application provides increased reliability and simplified installation. Reduced maintenance requirements/costs achieved per unit through elimination of
one pump and one electric motor.
