The Rowe Hankins/REBS wheel flange lubricator system sprays a controlled quantity of special lubricant on the flange at fixed intervals - dependent on the type of electronic control unit in the system (ECU), which can be based on:

• a fixed time interval
• the distance travelled
• a combination of distance travelled and vehicle-speed
• a combination of physical track-location and vehicle-speed

System operation is automatic and requires no monitoring by the driver. When the vehicle is stationary, the system is non-operational.

Other than the type which operates on a fixed time interval, additional inputs are required to enable the system to establish speed, distance travelled and position. Such inputs are normally as follow:

Systems based on distance travelled or on a combination of distance travelled and vehicle-speed require a pulsed speed-sensor input. such an input can be derived from:

• an electronic speedometer such as a tachometer;
• a mechanical speed measuring device such as a friction-based speedometer with microswitched electrical output;
• an electronic pulse generator such as a hall-effect speed sensor sensing the teeth of a target gear.

If such a source is not readily available on the vehicle, then we can provide these to suit the application. As well established designers and manufacturers of speedometers and speed sensors, we have supplied such equipment throughout the world for many years.
