Aug 14, 2025 Leave a message

Railway gauge rods are widely used on railway switch section. The function of railway gauge rod is to prevent the longitudinal stretching of steel rail and keep the track distance. Railway gauge rod is used to link two steel rails together with one rod, which is used to improve the lateral stability of the rail and improve the track's ability to maintain rail track distance.

 

In the railway system, lacking of railway gauge rod will lead to rail track gauge deviation, even worse cause serious railway accident, such as train derailment, train overturning and other unthinkable consequence.
