Cable oiler – Automatic lubrication for cable car cables
What is true for bicycle chains and roller bearings also applies to the heavily strained cables of urban and Alpine cable cars. Effective preservation protects the wire cable from corrosion, reduces internal friction and thus makes it more durable. With the automated cable oiler and the right oil, NK-A from ELASKON, this is possible even in ongoing operation. This is proven in the example of the “PisaMover” MiniMetro from LEITNER in Pisa.
