Company Overview
- The company makes a solid lubricant made up of a thermosetting polymeric binder with no liquid or oil components.
- It comes in block form and is intended for use in lubricating the wheel flange-rail gauge corner interface in locomotives, metro wagons, trams, and other steel rail devices.
- It has been proven in the field and tested in the laboratory to be a solid stick with the highest lubricity, retentivity, and optimised longevity.
- This dry lubricant is applied to the wheel flange, without affecting the wheel tread or railhead, resulting in no impact on traction or braking.
- The main technical issues associated with wayside lubricators have been identified as blocked applicator openings, leaking holes, ineffective pumps and trigger mechanisms, and inappropriate selection of lubricant. Such technical problems can also result in human-related problems. For example, if over-lubrication occurs and lubricant migrates onto the rail top, it can cause adhesion loss. Additionally, over-lubrication can lead to an increase in rolling contact fatigue and crack growth on the rail gauge corner due to the pressurisation of the crack, which results in increased crack growth rates.
- Using this product can help to address the issues related to grease wayside lubrication or oil on-board lubrication mentioned above.
Product or Technology Overview
The advantages of the product are as follows:
- It is not toxic or flammable
- There is no risk of contaminating the rail or wheel
- The likelihood of wheel climb and derailment is reduced
- It extends the lifespan of the wheel and rail
- It helps to reduce repair and maintenance expenses
- Decreases flanging noise levels
- Environmentally conscious and sustainable
The company provides comprehensive support for on-board solid stick lubrication systems, including the production and supply of applicators, springs, and brackets for installation on bogies. In addition, it offers services for implementing these systems on bogies that do not currently have any solid lubricant system in place.
The LUBRISOL solid lubricant can be manufactured in various shapes and sizes, including interlocking and continuous blocks known as "LUBRISOL-XL," to meet specific customer requirements. It can also be produced with different transfer rates and lubricity levels. Additionally, customised solid sticks can be created to optimise performance for specific railways with unique characteristics.
