Common Types of E Elastic Rail Clips

 

Rail clip is a component of railway fastening systems. It is used to fix the rails to underlying baseplate and sleepers. Its main function is to prevent the rail from moving.

 

E Type Rail Elastic Clip is one of the common track fasteners in the railway fastening system, which is used to provide positive and durable track alignment under harshest working conditions, thus extending the life of railway track. Generally, rail elastic clip is made of forged spring steel with a diameter range from 18mm to 23mm, the main function of rail clip is to fasten railroad sleeper and steel rail together. The rail clip is considered as one of the best ways to ensure that rails not move, bend, warp, etc.

E2055, E2039, E1609, E1809, E1813 are specific models of Elastic Rail Clips (ERCs), essentially modern, high-strength spring steel fasteners (often Pandrol-type) used to securely clamp rails to sleepers (ties) in railway tracks, providing necessary elasticity to absorb vibrations, maintain gauge, and prevent rail movement. These codes denote different sizes/designs, like E2055 for heavy-duty use or E1809/E1813 for standard applications, fitting various rail profiles and sleeper types (concrete, wood, steel).

 

Key Characteristics & Function:

 

rail fastening

 

 

  • Material: Made from spring steel for high tensile strength and elastic recovery.

 

  • Function: Fixes rails to baseplates on sleepers, keeping correct track gauge and reducing shock.

 

  • Elasticity: Absorbs vibrations, extending track component life.

 

  • Types (E-Clips): The numbers (e.g., 2055, 1809) often relate to dimensions or rail weight compatibility, with larger numbers sometimes indicating greater capacity.

 

  • Common Examples: E1609, E1809, E1813 are standard clips, while E2055 and E2039 are often for heavier loads or specific systems like Indian Railways.
