Rail

To ensure smooth railway operations, the interaction of all rail vehicle components that ensure that the safety and performance are adhered  continuous on a daily basis must be taken into account. Components such as brakes, wheels and rails, doors , compressors and couplings must ensure the safe functionality during  operation at all times. 

In order to guarantee the function of various assemblies in train technology in the long term, a careful selection of lubricants is required that is tailored to the complexity of the components. With a range of specially designed lubricants and lubrication systems, we offer railway operators a comprehensive maintenance program for vehicle lubrication. Our product portfolio includes high-performance, ecological and economical specialty lubricants that extend maintenance intervals and reliably protect components against wear and corrosion. 

A large number of moving components in the bogie and chassis not only have to withstand different weather conditions, but also absorb vibrations and shocks to ensure a comfortable journey for passengers and fragile goods. Components such as wheelset bearings, traction motor bearings, gearboxes, drive shafts, bolts and screw connections that are continously exposed to extreme loads. These permanently acting forces can lead to damage or even failure of the components. The failure of just one component means high replacement and repair costs for the vehicle as well as delays.

Vorschlag  These permanent acting forces and vibrations might lead to damage or malfunctioning of components. If the functionality is not guaranteed, this might lead to safety risks, higher maintenance and repair costs and, last but not least delays.

To reduce wear and noise at critical points and increase the service life of bearings etc., maintenance engineers rely on high-performance lubricants from LUBCON. The carefully selected product ranges are specially adapted to the needs of the railway industry, significantly extend maintenance intervals and reduce operating costs. 

Regardless of the length or layout of the route networks, the requirements for lubricants for the infrastructure are highly demanding and individual. Even in the harshest environmental conditions such as heat, snow, ice, rain or dust, safety has the highest priority and must be adhered to ensure passengers and goods are transported safely and comfortably to their destination. Such environmental influences and conditions require specially designed high-performance lubricants that go beyond the standard of conventional products. All our products  are specifically tailored to the requirements of railway infrastructure operators. These rail lubricants have very good water resistance  and form a pressure-stable and adhesive lubricating film on the surfaces. 

LUBCON has a wide range of tested and approved lubricants to  reduce squealing noise in curves and control the friction coefficient of the Wheel/Rail contact. The reduction of curve squealing reduces the wear on Wheels and Rails and reduces the maintenance or replacements costs of components. In addition, the noise reduction, especially in inner-city traffic, leads to greater satisfaction and acceptance among residents.

All our products used on the Wheel/Rail contact area are biodegradable and comply with the strict safety and environmental regulations.
