Rail pads, originally called sole plates, are elastic polyurethane mats assembled between steel rails and rail sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting.Rail Pads work together with various railway fasteners such as spikes, bolts and nuts, insulators, fish plates, and track anchors etc to ensure the smooth operation of railway trains.
Rail pads for E-type rail fastening system
Rail rubber pads used for E-type rail fastening systems are with the similar functions of the rail insulators to insulate the rail above it from the tie sleepers laid below it, for effective protection against vibration and structure-borne noise as well. The rail pad works together with e-clips, rail insulators/insulated gauge blocks and rail shoulders/embedded parts to form a whole set of E-type rail fastening system.
Railway pads for SKL rail fastening system
A rail pad in a SKL rail fastening system is a small but crucial fastener part, working together with SKL clips, screw spikes, plastic dowels, guide plates and so on. The elastic rail pads we produce possess a defined stiffness and demonstrably increase the elasticity of the track superstructure. With a higher level of elasticity, it contributes towards quiet running of the rolling stock, to meet today's acoustic requirements on railway lines.
GNEE RAIL specializes in producing rail fastening parts include Rail Pads. Keep the rail stable, to preclude and buffer impact, increase friction and reduce vibration, rail EVA pad lies between the rails and base plates. It can be made of HDPE, EVA, rubber, and EPDM materials.
