Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1674369A1] The present invention relates to a device for applying lubricant to a curved part of a railway track, the device comprising: a spraying agent reservoir in which a predetermined quantity of spraying agent can be stored; a stationary spraying unit to be placed adjacently of the inner rail of the curved part of the railway track and comprising at least one spray head connectable to the spraying agent reservoir for spraying lubricant in the direction of the top part of the inner rail; a vibration sensor for detecting the vibrations generated by a rail vehicle in one or more of the rails and for generating a signal representative of the presence of a rail vehicle; control means coupled to the spraying unit and the vibration sensor for controlling the spraying unit subject to the signal from the vibration sensor so that the lubricant comes to lie directly on the top side of the inner rail in the correct predetermined lubricant dosage.
