AEF’s expertise on the diagnosis of lubricants
Many lubricants are used onboard rolling stock and in railway infrastructures to ensure optimum performance. These lubricants, comprising both oils and greases, help to extend the useful life of equipment by addressing problems such as the friction, wear and corrosion of surfaces in contact with one another. They help to preserve the performance of components via their many functions.
AEF's expertise
The Railway Test Agency offers several solutions for lubricants under the COFAC-accredited NF EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
Today, courtesy of AEF’s specific studies, it is possible to establish the degree of ageing in the different lubricants and their remaining potential, this being key input for maintainers keen to contain their costs and improve fleet availabilit
The Railway Test Agency’s teams are involved in monitoring everything related to lubricants to ensure that their customers’ financial, maintenance, environmental and safety needs are met. The AEF laboratory draws on its experience to offer tailored services to ensure 100% customer satisfaction.
Tests developed by the AEF, often as a complementary service
Four different types of monitoring have been developed by Eurailtest’s partner AEF. They can be complementary and depend on the lubricant considered. The challenge is to optimise the use of lubricants to ensure reduced maintenance steps and cost control.
