A rail clip is typically a metal component used to attach the rail to the track supporting structure. Rail clips are designed to securely hold the rail laterally, while also allowing for some longitudinal movement and expansion due to temperature change and other factors.
What is the function of a rail clip?
- Properly transfer the lateral force from the rail into the steel plate and structure
- Secure the rail in the lateral direction to minimize pad creep
- Apply vertical force on the rail to compress the seals on the pad
