Rail elastic clip is one of the popular fastening parts to keep rail track fixed on rail sleepers(wooden sleeper and concrete sleeper). Rail clamps are also used in some rail fastening systems.
GNEE RAILWAY RAILWAY supplies elastic rail clips with high precision, high tensile strength and corrosion resistance, which are used widely in railway projects all over the world.
Types of Rail Clips by Design
Elastic Rail Clips
Elastic rail clips are the most commonly used rail clips in railway tracks. They are designed to provide a constant, predetermined force to hold the rails in place. The most common types of elastic rail clips include:
Single Coil Spring Clip: This is the most basic type of elastic rail clip, consisting of a single coil spring that is attached to the sleeper. It is suitable for light to moderate traffic loads.
Double Coil Spring Clip: This type of elastic rail clip consists of two coil springs, making it suitable for heavier traffic loads.
SKL Tension Clip: This is a widely used elastic rail clip that provides excellent holding power and is suitable for high-speed railway tracks.
| Name | SKL tension clamp |
| Material | 60Si2MnA 60Si2CrA 55Si2Mn 38Si7 |
| Hardness | 42-47HRC |
| Fatigue Life | for Dia.18 is 3 millions cycles without breaking |
| for Dia.20 is 5 millions cycles without breaking | |
| Surface | plain (oiled), Oxide black, color painting or according to customer requirement |
| Standard | DIN17221, BS970, GB/T1222 |
Pandrol Fastclip: This elastic rail clip is a popular alternative to the SKL tension clip and provides a more secure hold on the rails.
E-Clip: This elastic rail clip is commonly used in North America and provides a secure hold on the rails while also allowing for easy installation and removal.

Non-Elastic Rail Clips
Non-elastic rail clips are designed to provide a rigid hold on the rails, unlike elastic rail clips, which provide a constant force. The most common types of non-elastic rail clips include:
Deenik Clip: This is a non-elastic rail clip that is commonly used in the Netherlands and other European countries. It is designed to provide a rigid hold on the rails and is suitable for high-speed railway tracks.
| Name | Deenik rail clip |
| Material | 60Si2CrA 55Si2Mn 38Si7 |
| Hardness | 42-47HRC |
| Fatigue Life | for Dia.18 is 3 millions cycles without breaking |
| for Dia.20 is 5 millions cycles without breaking | |
| Surface | plain (oiled), Oxide black, color painting or according to customer requirement |
KPO Clamp: This is a non-elastic rail clip that is commonly used in China and other Asian countries. It is designed to provide a secure hold on the rails and is suitable for high-speed railway tracks.
Nabla Clip: This is a non-elastic rail clip that is commonly used in Europe and other countries. It is designed to provide a rigid hold on the rails and is suitable for high-speed railway tracks.
| Name | Nabla rail clip |
| Material | 60Si2MnA |
| Hardness | Hrc41-48 |
| Sizes | As your drawing |
| Surface | plain (oiled), Oxide black, color painting or according to customer requirement |
| Standard | DIN17221, BS970, GB/T1222 |
Fast Clip: This is a non-elastic rail clip that is commonly used in North America. It provides a secure hold on the rails and is suitable for both light and heavy traffic loads.
Gauge Lock Clip: This is a non-elastic rail clip that is commonly used in Australia and other countries. It provides a rigid hold on the rails and is suitable for heavy traffic loads.
