CASE STUDY 5: Tor Lubrication (Grooved Rail)

Written By Ben White

  • Tight radius curves on metro system causing damage and squeal

  • Wayside lubrication systems installed

  • Thin, oil based, film. Management cannot be optimised without friction measurements

  • Friction reduction after product application due to lubricant. Friction increase with increasing distance from applicator (carry down)
