INFORMATION FROM THE LEADER IN THE LUBRICATION INDUSTRY Lubrication Solutions Gauge Face and Top of Rail

The Issues. . . . Other lubrication systems apply large, uncontrolled amounts of grease in short durations to the rail. • High Lubricator Maintenance Costs • Uncontrolled and Uneven Grease Placement • Too Many Weather and Temperature Variants These systems flood the rail even when set at their smallest time setting. Any grease that does not attach to the wheel, falls to the ballast resulting in wasted material and uneven distribution at the application site. Lincoln Wayside lubrication systems effectively apply a consistent volume of grease to the rail and they hold that grease in place...

What Sets Lincoln Apart From Others? Pump-to-Port Technology The high-pressure, positive displacement of fluid to a single outlet port. Lincoln Systems with PTP Divider Block Port 7 Port 8 Port 5 Port 6 Port 3 Port 4 Port 1 Other Systems Port 2 Pump to Port Path of Least Resistance • Cavity displacement is the same at varying temperature and pressure resistance • Higher volume needed to achieve constant flow • Fluid pressure from the pump pushes each piston to displace fluid to one port • Fluid follows path with least pressure resistance • Each rail receives an equal amount of grease •...

Gauge Face Lubrication Features, Benefits and Advantages Bar design • Tucked under the rail to eliminate wheel strikes. • Tip Spreaders and fold-down-brackets for easy installation. • Brush holds excess grease to be picked up by the next train—minimizes grease waste and contamination. • Places grease high on the gauge face to be carried by passing wheel flanges avoiding grease migration to the top of rail. • Universal mounting brackets to adjust the wiper bar placement on 90lb to 140lb standard rail. High-Pressure System • Automatically keeps ports open and free of debris without personnel...

Top-of-Rail Lubrication Features, Benefits and Advantages Bar design • Field-side mounted. • Metal-to-metal seal – no wearable items needing periodic replacement. • Spring mounted – capable of withstanding false-flange wheel strikes. • Mounting brackets allow bars to be folded out of the way for routine track maintenance. • Pump-to-Port technology dispenses precise volume of product in exactly the correct location. High Pressure System • Non-clogging design eliminates manual cleaning of ports. • High pressure facilitates cold temperature product dispensing. • Capable of pumping long...
