Fishplate Lubrication
Also known as a splice bar or joint bar, fishplates are the metal bars connecting two pieces of rail. As such, they play a crucial role in the construction of many rail networks, making their effective maintenance absolutely essential when it comes to performance and safety.
Fishplate and joint bar lubrication
The main reason for lubrication is to allow for the seasonal expansion and contraction of the rails due to varying temperatures throughout the year. The fishplate joint allows the two pieces of track to move slightly to accommodate some of this shrinkage and expansion. If not sufficiently lubricated, track buckling can occur, leading to serious safety risks.
