Intelligent technologies to reduce energy, fuel consumption and material wear of rolling stock are gaining acceptance in the railway sector. The American Association of Railroads (AAR) estimated that the wear and friction occurring in the wheel / rail interface of trains due to ineffective lubrication costs railway operators in excess of $2 billion (U.S.) each year. SKF and Lincoln automatic lubrication systems deliver small, measured amounts of lubricant precisely when needed. On-board systems lubricate the wheel flange, and wayside systems lubricate the rail as the train is passing. This combined approach increases system reliability and reduces lubricant consumption. Reliably delivering lubricant or friction modifiers, SKF and Lincoln automatic lubrication systems help prevent material damage at wheels and rails, while optimizing manpower resources.
