Railways put their faith in rhenus
Metalworking fluids
Coolants for the entire production chain – from drive components to wheelsets:
- For the manufacture of drive components and technical parts
- For high fine wear casting machining thanks to strong flushing power
- For the processing of wheelsets and axles
Special greases:
We develop specialised greases precisely to your requirements – from high-speed trains to track systems for best performance:
- High-speed trains
- Rail vehicles and components
- Track systems and points
- Bearings, wheelsets and drives

Solutions
Lubricating greases for rails
- Wide temperature range (-45 to 120°C)
- Biodegradable greases with graphite, very good adhesion
- Used by Deutsche Bahn and private rail companies in Germany, the Austrian Federal Railways, and rail operators in Norway
- Corrosion protection, easier unscrewing of fittings, water-repellent, very adherent
Lubricating greases for track vehicles
- High mechanical stability
- Low friction values, longer service lives
- Suitable for use in very cold and hot regions
- Biodegradable
- No spinning off from the wheel flange at speeds of up to 250 km/h
- Approvals from numerous leading manufacturers and operators
