In forced lubrication system, pumps are employed to supply lubricating oil from a common sump to various desired locations. In diesel locomotive engines, there will be atleast 8 to 10 such locations which calls for forced lubrication. It will be very expensive to provide so many sets of pump and motor for the purpose of forced lubrication. There can be considerable saving in space, money and energy if the possibility of driving these pumps through the mechancial power available at the axle of a locomotive can be explored. The only problem in the practial implementation of the above concept is the direction of rotation of the axle, which is dependent on whether the locomotive is moving forward or reverse. One of the methods to overcome this problem is the use of Auto reversal concept.
