Type E Railway Fastener System: Tech & Performance Indicators

Jul 24, 2025 Leave a message

The Type E railway fastener system is a fastener system widely used in rail transit, featuring a simple structure, convenient installation, and strong stability. It is extensively applied in continuous welded rail (CWR) lines and heavy-haul railways. The system mainly consists of elastic clips, gauge blocks, base plates, bolts, and ballast screws, which can effectively maintain reliable connections between rails and sleepers, ensuring the safety and stability of train operations.

 

In terms of technical indicators, the Type E fastener boasts excellent elasticity and seismic performance. Its elastic clips are made of spring steel with superior elasticity and high fatigue life, typically capable of withstanding 200-300 million fatigue loading cycles without fracture. The system is designed to meet specified clamping force requirements, with the clamping force of a single fastener usually ranging from 9 to 12 kN, ensuring the rails are securely fastened without loosening.
