A rail pad, also called rail rubber plate, is designed between the rail tie plate and foot of the rail, made by an elastic polyurethane mat, which is interposed between steel rails and tie sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting. With such upgraded load distribution, it will lead to greater passenger comfort and less wearing onto the superstructure. The strengthened elasticity effects positively onto the wear of the superstructure items and rolling stock.
GNEE RAIL specializes in producing rail fastening parts include Rail Pads. Keep the rail stable, to preclude and buffer impact, increase friction and reduce vibration, rail EVA pad lies between the rails and base plates. It can be made of HDPE, EVA, rubber, and EPDM materials. Main rail pads are made for E type rail fastening system and SKL type rail fastening system.

What are the characteristics of elastic rail pads made from different materials?
Elastic rail pads use materials like rubber (natural/synthetic), EVA, HDPE, and TPU, each offering specific strengths: Rubber provides excellent damping, elasticity, and wear resistance; EVA offers high elongation and good cushioning; HDPE delivers high stiffness and insulation; while TPU boasts superior strength, abrasion resistance, and elasticity but can generate heat. Key characteristics across materials include vibration absorption, load distribution, electrical insulation, and resistance to aging/wear, with specific properties varying by material to suit different track needs.
What is the function of a rail rubber pad?
- The load distribution covering a larger surface area
- Reducing load concentration and usage fatigue stress
- Even contact area between the rail and supporting components
- Reducing noise and structural vibrations
- Sealing function between the top support and rail bottom
- Reducing rail wearing and relevant supporting components
Features of Rubber Rail Pad from GNEE RAIL
