Business profile Klüber Lubrication: tailor-made solutions for the rail industry For more than 80 years the special requirements of rail industry users have been a central concern of Klüber Lubrication. It analyses the lubrication requirements of the components together with its customers and takes the defined specifications as a basis for developing tailor-made lubricants. Besides high-quality, mineral oil based lubricants Klüber also offers a comprehensive range of synthetic high-performance speciality lubricants that contribute to better efficiency of rail vehicles and higher infrastructure uptime. Its speciality lubricants help extend maintenance intervals and reduce lubricant quantities. With its eco-friendly and readily biodegradable lubricants, it supports the industry’s efforts to preserve the environment and make a major contribution to environmental protection. Clearing the line The rail industry has its own special challenging requirements for lubrication. Trains have to work reliably in any weather conditions, run on time, offer a comfortable ride and carry goods safely. With Klüber Lubrication speciality lubricants, the complex interaction of trains and infrastructure is kept running. The right lubricant for the maintenance of bogie components, doors and points will reduce operating costs reliably and efficiently. All these requirements must be met both in summer and winter. Further factors influencing performance are vibration, shock loads, rain and snow. A lubricant must maintain its specific characteristics under all environmental conditions to ensure correct performance at all times. high-performance lubricant Klüberrail AL 32-3000, developed by Klüber Lubrication, ensures low adjustment forces in points, even at temperatures down to minus 30 degrees. The synthetic lubricant provides good wear protection and excellent adhesion on the slide plate, extending relubrication intervals. ‘Lubricating railway switches is time consuming. As staff costs for lubricant application are normally considerably higher than the costs for the lubricant itself, one of the most important lubricant requirements is long relubrication intervals,’ explains Thomas Kamprath, market manager rail at Klüber Lubrication. Klüberrail AL 32-3000 has good UV resistance preventing gumming of the applied lubricant after long exposure to sunlight. Its excellent water resistance and corrosion protection allow a considerable extension of maintenance intervals. Due to its low viscosity, Klüberrail AL 32-3000 can be applied both by portable spraying equipment or brush. On the track with the right lubricant Trains can only run smoothly and on time if points function properly under all weather conditions. The new rapidly biodegradable OCTOBER 2012 Page 45
