This article explores how the SURE LUBE system works, its advantages and why it has become the preferred solution for operators across the rail industry.
What Is the SURE LUBE Bearing System?
The SURE LUBE Bearing System is an advanced, maintenance-friendly lubrication solution designed specifically for hi-rail gear assemblies. It ensures continuous and consistent lubrication of bearings under all operating conditions — from heavy-duty freight support to urban light-rail maintenance.
By integrating a simplified greasing process with superior sealing and bearing protection, the system enhances reliability and reduces downtime associated with traditional lubrication methods.
Key Features of the SURE LUBE Bearing System
✔ 1. Sealed Bearing Protection
The system uses high-quality sealed bearings that prevent dirt, water, and contaminants from entering, ensuring smooth operation even in harsh rail environments.
✔ 2. Continuous Lubrication Delivery
Engineered grease pathways provide direct lubrication to critical bearing surfaces without requiring disassembly.
✔ 3. Extended Service Intervals
Operators benefit from longer maintenance cycles, reducing both labour and downtime while improving equipment availability.
✔ 4. Simple & Clean Maintenance
Greasing is performed through easy-access ports, eliminating messy or time-consuming bearing maintenance routines.
✔ 5. Built for Heavy-Duty Rail Use
Designed to withstand the vibration, load stress and environmental exposure typical in railroad operations.
Benefits for Hi-Rail Operators
✔ Increased Reliability
With consistent lubrication and sealed protection, bearings experience less friction, wear and overheating, ensuring smoother operation.
✔ Lower Maintenance Costs
Longer intervals between services help reduce the overall cost of ownership.
✔ Enhanced Safety
Properly lubricated bearings reduce the risk of mechanical failure, ensuring safe deployment and retraction of hi-rail gear.
✔ Longer Equipment Lifespan
Reduced wear on bearings and other moving parts extends the lifespan of hi-rail components, contributing to better long-term performance.
✔ Improved Job-Site Efficiency
With fewer maintenance interruptions, operators can complete more inspections, repairs or rail work in less time.
