It’s time again this year: From September, 24th to 27th, InnoTrans 2024 will be held in Berlin, the world’s leading international trade fair for transport technology. Klüber Lubrication will also be at the fair – naturally not without bringing some innovative products and exciting insider information.
Meet our team in Hall 21, booth 440 for exclusive insights, first-hand expertise. This will also be a good opportunity for talking to us in person.
But there’s more! Come to room hub27, beta 6-7 on Thursday, September 26th at 3:00 p.m., where Julius Fuchs (Head of Global Rail Industry at Klüber Lubrication) and Heiko Stache (Head of Bearing Industry at Klüber Lubrication) together with Bert Rosenheinrich (Director Product Group Rail at Schaeffler) and Dr. Frank Fiedler (Senior Specialist Tribology at Schaeffler) will deliver an exciting presentation under the InnoTrans 2024 Speaker’s Corner scheme on the subject ”The next-generation wheelset bearing greases“.
For you as a visitor from the industry, this presentation is free of charge and will also be made available in the form of a live stream.

Downtime means operating costs for you. Do you wish to reduce them? We show you how to do this with Klüber Lubrication high-performance gear oils.
Our products have been proven to extend oil change intervals, contributing significantly to cost reduction.
Approved by leading gear manufacturers and made 100 percent of fully synthetic base oils, they also show high oxidation and shear stability.
Good to know: The longer the relubrication or oil change intervals, the lower the amount of lubricant required. Thus, a longer gear oil change interval means not only lower costs per kilometre travelled, but also less lubricant consumption and thus less CO2 emissions. In addition, many specialty lubricants from Klüber Lubrication are rapidly biodegradable and are therefore particularly environmentally friendly.

Wheel set bearings of trains and rail cars are safety-relevant components as they act as an interface between the vehicle and the rails. In addition to safety, however, the aspect of total cost of ownership driven by efficiency losses and train stoppages plays an ever larger role.
However, combined with a suitable lubricant, wheel set bearings can also contribute to significant savings – an approach that is becoming increasingly common among rail operators and suppliers.
To achieve this added value, the lubricant used in wheel bearings faces high demands: On the one hand, its lubricity must be reliably ensured over a wide temperature range as well as at variable speeds and vibrations; on the other hand, even with longer periods of idleness or when used for longer than planned, it must function reliably.
These are requirements that the next generation of Klüber Lubrication wheel set bearing greases can meet.
Whether in the heat, cold or rain, ensuring the trouble-free functioning of switches in any weather is one of the most important maintenance tasks of infrastructure operators. Choosing the right lubricant can be essential to increase the reliability of switches. And that’s where Klüber’s tailor-made high-performance specialty lubricants come into their own.
With the extension of relubrication intervals being a focal objective, our products are characterised by good water resistance – i.e. a lower influence of rain on the setting forces – as well as very good corrosion protection. This ensures smooth rail operation, even in the harshest weather conditions.

The most common cause of trains being stuck is problems with their doors. Therefore, their reliability is not only one of the decisive factors in the operation of trains, but they also play an important role in the interaction between humans and technology.
Our proven high-performance lubricant BARRIERTA L 25 DL, approved and recommended by all major door manufacturers, helps you boost reliability. It reduces friction between the door seals and the vehicle body, ensuring smooth, silent and low-wear operation.
