Dual-line lubrication system for railway vehicle

Dual-line systems SKF EasyRail High Pressure transport compressed air and the lubricant in separate lines and meter the lubricant directly inside the spray nozzle.


The system pressure can be up to 100 bars. The lubricant is metered inside the spray nozzles (typically 0,03 or 0,05 cm³/spray) and applied with high accuracy onto the wheel flanges with a pressure of about to 10 bars. The high system pressure allows the application of the lubricant on maximum line lengths of 10 m between pump unit and spray nozzle.


The system features enable save lubricant application at extreme speed and/or environmental conditions, like low temperatures (down to -40 °C) and with suitable lubrication products.


The SKF EasyRail High Pressure system can be customized as a centralized lubrication unit for bi-directional operations.


The intelligent control unit is managing effectively the lubrication needs of the operator and reduces the lubricant consumption to a minimum.

 

Applications:

SKF EasyRail High Pressure systems are mainly used on large locomotives, high-speed trains with power heads, but also other applications that require a lubricant reservoir bigger than 7 litres for maintenance reasons.
