Applications of Type II Railway Fastening System

Jun 30, 2025 Leave a message

The Type II railway fastening system plays a critical role in modern railway construction, with its excellent performance enabling wide application in various railway scenarios.

 

1

Standard-Gauge Railway Lines

 

Suitable for straight tracks and curves with radii ≥300m, the Type II system connects 60kg/m rails to pre-stressed concrete sleepers, wide concrete sleepers, and monolithic roadbeds. On ordinary mainline railways, its reliable clamping force resists longitudinal and lateral forces from trains, keeping rails secure and maintaining precise track gauge for safe operation. In urban rail transit, it is commonly used on ground and elevated lines, meeting strict requirements for:

 

Track stability
Noise/vibration reduction
Signal transmission accuracy

 

Elastic rubber pads buffer impact forces, reduce noise affecting surrounding communities, while electrical insulation prevents track circuit current leakage to ensure stable signaling.

Heavy-Haul Railway Transport

 

In heavy-haul railways-where high cargo weights and axle loads demand extreme track durability-the Type II system excels. Its elastic clips, made of 60Si2CrVA premium spring steel, offer significantly higher yield/tensile strength than other types. With 10kN clamping force and 10mm stroke per clip, they withstand huge forces from heavy trains, preventing rail displacement. This makes them vital for lines like the Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway.

Speed-Up Railway Lines

 

On lines requiring high track stability, the Type II system's strong clamping force and stability ensure optimal track condition at high speeds. This reduces component damage and maintenance needs, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
