Abstract (EN): This work focus the important information carried out by the wear particles that are present in a lubricant sample. This information reveal the wear condition of the rolling bearings providing effective means to increase reliability and availability of wind turbines, minimizing maintenance costs and increasing the reliability of the machine. Wear particles from rolling bearings in wind turbine are presented, particularly particles resulting from abrasion, fatigue and corrosion mechanism. Root cause investigation is made, supported by microscopic analysis.
