Abstract
The invention relates to a lubrication system for a gearbox with stationary and rotating gearbox parts particularly in a wind turbine. The system includes lubrication distribution means in the stationary and rotating gearbox parts such as lubrication bores and openings. One or more rotary transmissions establish a transmission channel between lubrication distribution means in said stationary and rotating gearbox parts where said one or more rotary transmission include at least two connecting means. The invention also relates to a wind turbine with a drive train including a gearbox, and a lubrication system.
