A gauge rod is a kind of track material used to keep track in gauge by improving the lateral stability of the rail. It is an essential reinforcement accessory for railroad tracks. Gauge rods are mostly applied at weak points in straight tracks, curved tracks, switches, bad ties, etc. Placing under the parallel rails, can grip the rails and prevent them from spreading or tilting.
GNEE RAIL supplies two material variants of track gauge bars: standard gauge tie rods and insulated gauge rods.
The common railway gauge rod are generally set on the railway switch area at the turning point. The tensile force of railway gauge rod can prevent the steel rails from outward expanding.
The center insulation section of insulated gauge ties fulfills technical requirements for insulated track circuits. On railway lines equipped with signaling circuits, these insulating rail braces effectively protect electrical isolation integrity. GNEE's insulated gauge devices feature rational design, straightforward configuration, and reliable performance, including insulating sleeves enveloping connection joints. Furthermore, interconnect assemblies are integrated into both end sections and inner bores of the gauge retention rods.
The two different materials of railway gauge rods have different purposes in railway system. As an important part of railway system, high quality railway gauge rods can keep certain rail track distance and make the railway transportation safe and smooth.
As a professional railway fastener manufacturer, GNEE RAIL can produce and supply different materials railway gauge rods with high quality. The railway gauge rods made from GNEE RAIL can suit different railway standards, such as GB, DIN, AREMA and UIC.
