Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / Wind turbines
Spanish term or phrase: gomas
This term appears in PPT presentation analysing a new design for a wind turbine. I know that "goma" means rubber but I don't know what it would mean in this context. The sentence given is an entire point in the presentation (within the list of disadvantages of the design).

"Mantenimiento de filtros, gomas, acumuladores y cambio de aceite"

Thank you.

Good luck!

Explanation:
I think "gomas" in this context is "ruedas" (=> "tires" o maybe "wheels").

  -> Jajá, sí. Supongo que María y Cecilia no repararon en que no se trataba de automóviles. :O) :O)

agree  Juan Jacob: Claro. Según sé, a los neumáticos NO se les da mantenimiento. Hay muchos componentes de hule/caucho que se gastan, como soportes, cubre polvos, además de los que mencionas.

No, I read too quicly. But I've found this information:

La turbina de viento SWT-3.6-107 es el último modelo en el rango de productos. ... montado en la cubierta del mecanismo con aislantes de goma, lo que provee ...

So, it could be "rubber isolators"

Asker: Do wind turbines have tyres though? They may do - I must confess that I'm not an expert on the subject!
