Constant use of rail vehicles leads to increased wear of the flanges and rail flanks due to the friction between wheel and rails. Unwanted squeaking noises are a further unpleasant consequence especially in tight corners. In order to ensure trouble-free rail transport, the individual components in the three areas of depots, vehicles and infrastructure systems must always be optimally maintained - and this under the most varied weather conditions, continuous impact load and vibrations.
| Challenges | Solution |
|---|---|
| Outdoor applications with large temperature fluctuations | Simalube lubricators with protection against vibrations, often installed remotely |
| Vibrations on vehicles |

| Benefits from automatic lubrication | Advantages of simalube lubrication systems |
|---|---|
| Increased operational safety | Installation is possible in tight spaces |
| Reduced downtime | Reduction of service costs and maintenance costs: manual lubrication is eliminated, resulting in fewer operations and time saving |
| Optimization of system availability | Longer component life thanks to continuous and precise lubrication |
| Reduced noise level | The progress of the dispensing process can be monitored at any time thanks to the transparent housing (quantity control) |
| Constant supply of hard to reach lubrication points | Reliability: once installed, the lubrication points become reliably supplied with lubricant and will no longer be unattended |
| Flexibility: Running times are infinitely adjustable from 1-12 months |
