Rail maintenance vehicles operate in some of the toughest environments imaginable. Constant vibration, heavy loads, dust, dirt, and weather exposure all take a toll on critical components—especially wheel bearings.
To combat these challenges, Mitchell Railgear offers the innovative Sure Lube Bearing System, a purpose-designed solution that keeps rail gear bearings properly lubricated, protected, and performing at their best.
What Is the Sure Lube Bearing System?
The Sure Lube Bearing System is an advanced automatic lubrication system engineered specifically for hi-rail and rail maintenance equipment. It ensures that wheel bearings receive consistent and reliable lubrication without the need for constant manual servicing.
This smart system delivers the right amount of grease exactly where it’s needed, reducing wear and extending the life of your rail gear.
Why Proper Bearing Lubrication Is Critical
Bearings are one of the most important components in any rail gear system. Without correct lubrication, they can suffer from:
-
Excessive friction
-
Overheating
-
Premature wear
-
Corrosion
-
Sudden failure
Bearing failure can lead to costly repairs, unplanned downtime, and even serious safety risks.
The Sure Lube system eliminates these problems by providing continuous, controlled lubrication during operation.
Key Benefits of the Sure Lube Bearing System
Installing the Sure Lube Bearing System on your rail equipment offers major advantages, including:
✔ Extended Bearing Life
Consistent lubrication dramatically reduces friction and wear, helping bearings last longer.
✔ Reduced Maintenance Costs
Less frequent manual greasing means lower labour costs and fewer replacement parts.
✔ Improved Reliability
Well-lubricated bearings perform better and are far less likely to fail unexpectedly.
✔ Increased Equipment Uptime
With fewer breakdowns and maintenance interruptions, your vehicles stay on the job longer.
✔ Enhanced Safety
Properly maintained bearings reduce the risk of mechanical failure on the rail.
✔ Cleaner, More Efficient Operation
The system delivers precise amounts of lubricant with minimal waste or mess.
How the Sure Lube System Works
The Sure Lube Bearing System is designed for simplicity and effectiveness.
It works by:
-
Automatically supplying grease to bearings
-
Maintaining optimal lubrication levels
-
Preventing contamination from dirt and moisture
-
Reducing the need for manual intervention
Once installed, the system continuously protects your bearings while the vehicle is in operation.
