December 1999 - REBS Wheel Flange lubrication systems at locomotives
of the DB Regio AG


Dear Mr. Rebs,

since september 1997, our electro-locomotives of the type BR E-110 (~400 pcs.) are equipped with REBS wheel flange lubrication systems, because we had decided to take your system after an invitation to tender.

The reasons for our decision were:

  • the non-complicated design of your single-line system
  • the comfortable control with test function
  • the results of the extensive examination of the operation of the system, for example at extreme temperatures with dry and humid air, at the testing-stand of the Research- and Technology Centre of the German Railways in Munich.
Today, we can confirm, that your wheel flange lubrication systems prove to be successful to our full satisfaction.
The expected effect of reduction of wear and tear at the system rail/wheel takes place as can be proved.
A very positive echo can also be found for the detailed documentation, that is delivered with the systems.
The positive results have got us to decide to install your system also at the Diesel-locomotive type BR 218 (~400 pcs) this year.

kind regards ...
