ABSTRACT:
A railway vehicle wheel flange lubrication system includes a body mounted integrated supply/drive unit, a gapless delivery hose of low friction, e.g. thermoplastic, material and a truck mounted holder bracket. The supply/drive unit has a box enclosing a lubrication strand dispensing reel, a gearmotor drive unit, a control panel with operating circuitry and a lube out signal. The gearmotor drive uses a preferably nylon housing with an enclosed, preferably arcuate, passage in which a toothed sprocket driven by a stalled gearmotor penetrates and drives a lubricant strand. The bracket is configured for sturdy mounting on an axle bearing adapter to maintain the hose end against the associated wheel flange.
