Rail Lubrication Technology
Lubrication systems for maximum efficiency in rail transport.
Our solutions to your challenges
#1 Material wear
High wear on rail flanks and rail heads as well as on cost-intensive components such as switch tongues, frogs and check rails leads to high maintenance costs and shorter maintenance intervals.
Greasemaster lubrication system
Our lubrication systems continuously supply critical components with the optimal amount of lubricant – precisely tailored to the application.
- Less wear
- Lower maintenance costs
- Higher system availability
#2 Noise reduction
Disturbing squealing and screeching in tight curves or switch areas affects residents, passengers and infrastructure.
Frictionmaster conditioning system
Precise, continuous conditioning creates a protective layer between wheel and rail – for quieter and more efficient operation.
- Less noise
- Less vibration
- Higher acceptance in the surroundings
#3 Energy efficiency
High friction and insufficient lubrication increase energy consumption and reduce the efficiency of vehicles and infrastructure.
Greasemaster lubrication system
Our lubrication systems minimise friction losses and ensure optimal efficiency for all relevant components.
- Reduced energy consumption
- Sustainable operation
- Lower operating costs
Typical trouble spots in the rail system
Our systems are deployed precisely where friction, wear and noise occur.
Rail flank
High friction in curves causes significant wear between wheel and rail.
Greasemaster lubrication system
Our systems apply lubricant precisely to the rail flank, reducing friction and material wear.
- Less wear
- Longer service life
- Reduced maintenance costs
Rail head
High loads and insufficient conditioning cause noise and material wear.
Frictionmaster conditioning system
Our systems create a controlled protective layer on the running surface and optimise the wheel–rail contact.
- Less wear
- Less noise
- Less vibration
- Higher efficiency
Check rail
High mechanical loads lead to significant wear and noise generation.
Greasemaster lubrication system
Targeted lubrication permanently protects heavily stressed contact surfaces.
- Less wear
- Less noise
- Longer service life
Switch area
Switch tongue, frog, slide chair
Switch components are among the most heavily loaded areas in the rail system.
Greasemaster lubrication system
Our systems ensure reliable lubrication of heavily stressed components.
- Less wear
- Fewer disruptions
- Higher availability
- Lower maintenance costs
Shunting area
Brake system, check rail, retarder
Shunting operations cause high loads, strong friction and intense noise generation.
Brakemaster / Greasemaster
Our systems protect heavily stressed components and reduce noise as well as wear.
- Less wear
- Reduced noise
- Lower operating costs
Proven in operation
Our systems are deployed worldwide wherever reliability, cost-efficiency and long-term performance matter.
