Introduction
Lincoln Industrial provides advanced lubrication solutions for the rail industry, focusing on wayside lubrication for gauge face and top-of-rail applications. The document outlines the issues with traditional lubrication systems and presents Lincoln's innovative solutions.

Issues with Traditional Systems
Traditional lubrication systems apply excessive grease, leading to waste and uneven distribution. This results in high maintenance costs and inefficiencies due to uncontrolled grease placement and environmental factors.

Lincoln's Solution: Pump-to-Port Technology
Lincoln's Pump-to-Port technology, featuring the patented SSV® divider block, ensures precise and even grease distribution. This system is designed to withstand harsh environments and is used in various industries, including mining and construction.

Key Features of Lincoln Systems
  • High-Pressure System: Ensures consistent grease delivery, even in cold temperatures, and reduces maintenance needs.
  • Variable Output Pump: Allows for adjustable grease output, optimizing lubricant usage and reducing costs by 25-50%.
  • 24-VDC System: Efficient power management with low voltage cutoff to prevent battery issues.

Gauge Face and Top-of-Rail Lubrication
Lincoln's systems feature innovative bar designs for both gauge face and top-of-rail lubrication, ensuring precise grease application and minimizing waste. The systems are equipped with high-pressure capabilities and variable output pumps for optimal performance.

Benefits of Lincoln's Systems
  • Cost Reduction: Precise grease application reduces lubricant costs and ensures even distribution.
  • Maintenance Efficiency: Remote monitoring and high-pressure systems minimize maintenance time and costs.
  • System Components: Includes patented divider valves, high-pressure pumps, and advanced controllers for reliable operation.

Specifications
The systems operate within a temperature range of -40°F to 120°F and are powered by 24-VDC or AC units. They feature a maximum outlet pressure of 4000 psi and a reservoir capacity of 800 lbs.

Conclusion
Lincoln Industrial's lubrication solutions extend the life of rail systems by providing innovative, cost-effective, and efficient lubrication technologies. Their commitment to quality and innovation is demonstrated by their extensive patent portfolio and industry leadership.

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 allowing...

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 • 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 maintenance...
