How to structure a screw spike

Aug 18, 2025 Leave a message

The screw spike is also known as rail screw. As one kind of Rail spike, it is a metal screw for fixing rail fasteners. Screw spike is usually made of NO.3 steel. Because its nail rod surface has thread, so it is called screw spike. The pull-out resistance is 0.5 ~ 1.0 times larger than that of common rail spike, but the thrust resistance is 50% less. Due to disassembly and assembly inconvenience, it is difficult to adjust the rail gauge, which is generally used on the railway turnout.

Rail screw spikes primarily utilize a threaded structure, securing tracks in position via nut tightening. Compared to traditional dog spikes, screw spikes offer superior load-bearing performance, extended service life, and more convenient installation. Additionally, rail screws feature anti-corrosion, rust prevention, and aesthetic qualities, aligning with modern rail transit trends. GNEE RAIL manufactures screw spikes from high-strength steel or stainless steel, employing precision machining and surface treatment during production to ensure product quality and reliability.
