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.
Features of screw spike
- In shapes, screw spikes' heads are usually circle, square, or hexagon shape, which is convenient to use a wrench to install and remove.
- Many different kinds of thread patterns are designed carefully for the thread distance and depth on the railway sleeper screw shanks, which helps to ensure the railway sleeper screws' largest fixed strength and withdrawal force, and the shanks' diameter and length are usually customized according to the apply requirements to provide enough fixed depth and strength.
- In addition, screw spikes' tails are usually a flat head or slightly rounded shape, not cutting-edge. That can prevent the spikes from penetrating the sleepers and destroy the underneath structures. What's more, using a flat head designed tail also adds the spikes' stability in the sleepers, and it is easy to remove railroad spikes from sleepers.
