Rail
Reliable lubricants for maximum operational reliability in rail transport
Whether in conventional rail transport, freight transport or rail-based construction: railway machinery and vehicles are subjected to heavy stresses on a daily basis. Intense vibrations, significant temperature fluctuations, dirt, moisture and long operating hours demand lubricants that perform reliably under these conditions. Only precisely tailored solutions ensure availability, reduce operating costs and extend maintenance intervals – for trouble-free and cost-effective operation of your fleet and infrastructure.
All product groups are already listed. Until the new online shop is available, the links for each group will direct you to the central product list. This way, you can keep track of everything at all times. Further documentation can be found on myChemicals - your personal platform for technical data sheets, brochures and more.
Benefits at a glance
- Reliable protection under continuous stress: heavy-duty lubricants for locomotives, service vehicles and infrastructure systems – even in the face of temperature fluctuations, vibration and contamination.
- Reduced wear and consistent lubrication performance: oxidation-stable formulations and optimised lubricating films prevent material fatigue, ensure operational reliability and extend service life.
- Fewer downtimes, greater cost-effectiveness: Extended lubrication intervals, reduced maintenance requirements and minimised downtime lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
- Reliable operation of critical components: Consistent performance even in the presence of moisture, under high loads or during emergency operation – for reliable power transmission, control and movement.
Applications and solutions
- Hydraulic systems in points actuators and lifting mechanisms: pressure- and shear-stable hydraulic oils guarantee reliable control – even under high load fluctuations and at low temperatures.
- Powertrains and gearboxes in multiple units or construction vehicles: High-performance gear oils with micro-pitting protection for maximum service life, even under continuous load and vibration.
- Compressors and pneumatic systems: Lubricants with low oil mist emissions and high thermal stability ensure the proper functioning of control systems, brakes and door systems.
- Combined systems in rail vehicles: UTTO lubricants (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) provide multi-grade coverage for gearboxes, hydraulics and wet brakes.
- Superheated steam cylinders and heritage applications: Special steam cylinder oils for reliable lubrication at high temperatures in specialist and heritage railway operations.
- Bearings, axles and moving connecting elements: Greases and technical sprays with high-pressure stability and water resistance ensure low friction and corrosion protection.
- Radiator antifreeze: Coolants with corrosion protection for diesel locomotives – for reliable temperature control even during winter operation.
- Maintenance and cleaning: Cleaning and protective agents for technical surfaces, housings and sensitive components – to preserve value and ensure functionality.
Service commitment for enhanced performance
- Technical advice and condition analysis: Dedicated contacts will assist you with product selection, transitions and optimisations. High-precision used oil analyses at the LAEMMLE Tec Centre (LTC) enable well-informed decisions to improve efficiency, extend service life and minimise risk.
- Service, maintenance and repair: The digital Roxor Machine Tool (RMT) simplifies planning, documentation and condition monitoring. In addition, professional oil sampling, the hire of hydraulic oil filtration systems and other on-site services ensure smooth operation – even for complex machine fleets.
- Optimised lubricant logistics: Availability tailored to your needs and flexible delivery concepts ensure a continuous supply of lubricants for uninterrupted operations.
- Sustainable disposal: Efficient used oil take-back processes enable resource-conserving cycles and legally compliant lubricant disposal.
