Wheel Flange Lubricator Type Lausanne

The problems of wear due to friction on rolling stock wheel flanges and rails are well known. Fortunately the maintenance costs of the rails and wheels can be substantially reduced by means of WHEEL FLANGE LUBRICATORS. For many years, SECHERON, Geneva, have been manufacturing and selling WHEEL FLANGE LUBRICATORS intended for Railway Vehicles all over the world. Our extensive experience in this field, enables us to offer advice and specific solutions adapted to each vehicle and corresponding to each network. The wheel flange lubricator SECHERON can be applied on: - main-line locomotives,...

TECHNICAL DATA Electronic control unit. The lubrication commands which are issued are determined by the criterion indicated. Criterion: the distance covered Adjustment, standard values: 150-300-450 m Criterion: the time of the distance Adjustment, standard values: 10-15-20-30-40 s Criterion: the distance covered Adjustment, standard values: Electro-pneumatic valve, electric connections: Faston type - adjustment of oil quantity 10-40 mm3 per pump (3 types, see overall dimensions) - capacity 7 litres (other size on request) Differential cylinder ■ to be used only when an absolutely tight...

Schematic diagram of the system on board of the vehicle: - electrical speed measurement (tachometer) = mechanical speed measurement - proximity detector = lubricant distribution system = spray diffuser system = electrical power supply (battery) - electronic control equipment, type L or V or T 5 = lubricant distributor with closing device OPERATING DESCRIPTION Compressed air and electrical control current are required for oper- The wheel flange lubricator SfzCHERON sprays a controlled quan- tity of special oil on the flange at fixed intervals as a function of the electronic control criterion...

This consumption depends on various factors such as: - the type of vehicle and its equipment (number of nozzles); - the choice of the lubricant quantity per impulse; - the lubrication interval (choice of the electronic control and its - the average speed of the vehicle. Example based on the following assumptions: - equipment with 8 nozzles - average speed of the vehicle 55 km/h - lubrication interval 300 m or 20 s resting time - lubricant per impulse and nozzle 30 mm3 - average supply pressure = 6 bar Lubricant consumption: approx. 67 litres/100,000 km. Air consumption: approx. 140...

The wheel flange lubricator has the following DIRECT ADVAN- - the wear of the vehicle wheels (flanges) - the wear and deformity of the rails - the derailment risk, as the friction coefficient is reduced Elimination of wheel squealing. The above will result in the following INDIRECT ADVANTAGES: - the costs of reprofiling the axles (wheels) and rails - the costs of replacement of wornout material - the costs of immobilizing of the vehicles. - passenger comfort. CONTROL, ADJUSTMENT, MAINTENANCE Equipment operation is controlled by actuating the switch located on the control unit or by...
