Flange Lubricants - 12 key performance criteria & characteristics
For a flange lubricant to meet the challenging needs of customers it must be able to extend the life of assets and reduce maintenance costs. To satisfy this performance criteria the curved rail grease should possess these key characteristics.
Case Study
The five tracks in and out of St Pancras station have very complicated track geometry with tight radius curves causing problems with train noise. Local residents and the house boat marina at Kings Cross have long since complained about these noise issues, making it a priority for Network Rail to resolve the problem. They contacted an RS Clare Engineer for advice and to discuss trialling an RS Clare curved rail grease as a step towards resolving the issue.
