Lincoln Wayside Lubrication Systems
|
FLO’s Lincoln wayside lubrication systems apply lubricant with a wiper bar that is flanged to the rail profile. The lube is accurately applied to the contact surface such as the gauge face or top-of-rail. Sensors detect and count the axles of the approaching train and initiate a lube event. The duration of the event which determines the lube supply, is adjustable and can be set to the applicable conditions.

The duration of the event which determines the lube supply, is adjustable and can be set to the applicable conditions.
A high-pressure pump supplies the wiper bars with an exact metered amount of lubricant. The lube is picked up by the train’s wheel circumference and evenly distributed on the rail contact area. Depending on the lubricant and application (gauge face or top-of-rail lubrication), the distributed lube is evident for kilometers beyond the lubrication station.
Benefits:
High-pressure, low-volume pump ensures there is no clogging of lubrication ports.
System effectively covers the rail with just enough lubrication = no waste.
Exact metering of grease ensures each lube port receives the same small amountof grease every time without having to continuously “dial in” the system.
Positive displacement design of divider block ensures a constant, metered volume of grease is delivered to each lube port regardless of back pressure or cold weather conditions.
