Lubrication Solutions for Railway Applications
Managing friction successfully;
Thousands of trains around the world operate more reliably and efficiently due to RAASM automatic lubrication systems. Automatic lubrication systems provide significant advantages in terms of wear, energy and noise reduction by providing sensitive amounts of oil directly to the wheel / rail interface.
Rail lubrication and friction management;
Working in rail wear, narrow curves or heavily loaded track areas has been a challenge for many years. In addition, it is challenging to work in dry weather, on curved rails or with squeak.
Complete portfolio from a single global source.
RAASM Onboard lubrication system;
Built-in systems for RAASM, wheel flange lubrication and rail conditioner are usually mounted on the first leading vehicle axle. On-board lubrication systems have proven to be very flexible and effective for rail operators due to their variable adjustment options.
Roadside lubrication systems apply an effective and consistent volume of lubricant to the rail. The systems hold this grease or friction regulator in place and allow the wheels to move around the grip and track curve. The product range includes solutions for rail and fixing rail.
High viscosity lubricants and friction modifiers, applied automatically and independently of each other, help reduce desired noise and wear.
