FRICTION AND LUBRICATION OF WHEEL FLANGES

SPURKRANZREIBUNG UND SPURKRANZSCHMIERUNG

The authors examine the effect of wheel flange friction on the rails and the resistance to forward motion. They then consider measures aimed at reducing this friction by the use of special profiles and lubricants. Finally, they describe lubricating devices and their effects.
