Lubricator

Do you have these issues ?

What is “Lubricator” ?

Causes of Wear

● Long-time heavy load transport
● Aging factory building and ground settlement
● Rail misalignment
● During operation and braking

Main Problems Caused by Wear

① Shorter rail and wheel life, leading to higher running costs
② Downtime during replacement work
③ Risk of rail and wheel replacement at height
④ Poor working environment due to noise

Benefits

Economical benefits

● The lubrication/maintenance operation used to be performed manually is automated to save manpower.

● The lubricator extends the life of the machine, substantially reducing the replacement cost.

● The lubricator reduces the frequency of replacing wheels and rails, etc., decreasing the downtime.

Safety/environmental benefits

● The lubricator prevents accidents and downtime of the crane caused by wear of flange/rail.

● The lubricator improves safety by preventing accidents, such as falling from height or getting caught in a machine, that are likely to occur in manual lubrication.

● The lubricator not only reduces crane noise, but also reduces electricity consumption with decreased electrical resistance and CO2 emission, ultimately contributing to relieve some environmental burden.

Products

Rail lubricator/RVF-type

■

The oil is transferred from the lubricated rail-side to the flange portion, protecting both rails and flange from friction.

■

Without requiring electric or air source, flange is lubricated with an infinitesimal quantity of oil that is discharged only when the crane is in operation. It reduces flange wear and extends the wheel replacement interval (by 4-5 times for wheels or 2-3 times for rails).

■

A built-in FUJIMATIC PUMP enables a stable, tiny amount of oil discharge.

■

As it lubricates both sides of the rail simultaneously, fewer points of installation are necessary, making maintenance easier.

■

Since the lubricating wheels are designed to swing horizontally, they don't miss the lubricating points even the crane sways from side to side while in operation.

Implementation Examples

Used for traveling wheels of overhead traveling cranes/jib cranes/gantry cranes at steel plants, shipyard and harbor.

▼Overhead traveling cranes

▼Jib cranes
