DEVICE FOR LUBRICATING WHEEL FLANGES

Innovative ideas implemented in the device:
— discrete application of solid lubrication on the wheel flange surface according to the assigned algorithm that takes into consideration operation specifics of rolling stock, climatic and weather conditions;
— providing the optimal pressure of solid lubricant to the flange surface.
The benefits of the device compared with the analogues:
— solid lubrication economizing by 5 — 8 times;
— 4 — 7 times decrease in expenses for lubricating the flange surface (on the assumption of the same lubrication efficiency).
