Manufacturer's description
Shell EP 460. Wheel Flange Lubricant
Applications
- SHELL EP 460 is particularly suitable for the lubrication of wheel flanges of railway vehicles and tracks.
- Its characteristics allow it to be sprayed in a fine mist with air pressure between 4 and 10 bar. Shell EP 460 has been used by SNCF on all trains, normal, fast and TGV since 2001.
Performance & benefits
- SHELL EP 460 offers the following advantages: longer maintenance intervals due to anti-wear and extreme pressure properties
- very good surface contact
- good flexibility of the lubricating film at low temperature
- no break in the film between contact surfaces
- excellent anti-corrosion even in the presence of sea water
- resistance to dirt and other contaminants
- Specific to wheel flanges, SHELL EP 460 prevents lubrication loss due to centrifugal force and in heavy weather such as rain and snow
- keeps the product in the tread of the rail
- longer maintenance intervals due to anti-wear and extreme pressure properties
- lack of screening at high temperature Specific to wheel flanges, SHELL EP 460
- prevents lubrication loss due to centrifugal force and in heavy weather such as rain and snow
