Reduces Wheel Flange Wear:<\/b>\u00a0SteelGlide\u2019s Lube Stick\u2122 is specifically designed to lubricate and protect low-speed moving parts, particularly in flanged wheel applications, virtually eliminating wheel replacement due to flange wear. This reduces the number one maintenance problem for overhead cranes in steel mills and foundries.<\/p>\n
Prevents Failures Caused by Friction:<\/b>\u00a0The lubricant reduces friction between wheel flanges and the railhead, which can also reduce failures in shafts, gearboxes, and bearings. The lubricant also helps with track that is out of alignment, which can cause excessive wear.<\/p>\n
Solid Lubricant:<\/b>\u00a0The Lube Stick\u2122s are solid lubricants that hold up in harsh conditions. They are designed to be durable, lasting about two months depending on the duty cycle of the crane, after an initial \u201cwearing in\u201d period.<\/p>\n
Advanced Formula:<\/b>\u00a0The Generation 3 Lube Stick\u2122 formula includes two forms of graphite and proprietary additives for superior adhesion and lubricity. The lubricant will fill in scratches and cracks on the wheel flange and create a shiny, polished surface.<\/p>\n
Easy Application and Monitoring:<\/b>\u00a0The Lube Stick\u2122 Applicator has a simplified design with one moving part, a stainless steel spring, and a built-in window for monitoring refill needs. The applicators should be kept full for optimal pressure, and the company recommends that maintenance personnel monitor the applicators monthly as part of routine crane inspections. The lubricant also applies itself to the railhead, protecting both.<\/p>\n
