Main Component Definitions 

 
Pump 
Cabinet 

Each trackside Cabinet contains: Reservoir, gear pump, gear pump hose, control 
panel, battery charger, and cabinet mounting brackets.

 

The grease is delivered from the reservoir via the gear pump to hose at the base of 
the Cabinet.  Feed hoses then transfer grease to the Blade system. 

Pump 
Reservoir 

This reservoir holds the rail grease or friction modifier.  The LubriCurve Electro 5 
reservoir is capable of holding 35 Kg of grease or friction modifier.  

Pump 

The

 

pump unit consists of a single or twin chamber gear pump driven by a close-

coupled 12v DC motor.  The unit fits directly to the reservoir underside.

 

Pump 
Control 

Triggered from the Wheel Sensor the unit allows control of the pump and recording of 
key data.  A number of operational settings are user adjustable to suit the site and 
application. 

Wheel 
Sensor 

The Wheel Sensor clamps to the running rail and provides non-contact sensing of 
passing wheels.  Indicating lamps provide local indication of correct operation during 
test.  Sensor is connected to control box through armoured cable.

 

Solar Panel 

Depending on model, a solar panel is supplied.  The unit fits onto the rear of the 
cabinet and is used to provide power to the battery by utilising sun and ambient light 
to generate electric power. 

Delivery 
Hose 

The delivery hose transfers the grease from the pump outlet to the Blade inlet. 

Lengths of hose are supplied with each lubricator, which have to be cut into suitable 
lengths to fit between the trackside Cabinet and Blade assemblies. 

The hose is secured using a hose clip at each end of the hose. 

Blade 
(Grease 
Dispensing 
Unit - GDU) 

Blades are provided that allows the grease or friction modifier to be delivered to the 
gauge corner/gauge face or top of the rail, for the train wheels to pick up and spread 
along the curve.  The quantity supplied is dependent on the application specified.
