What is FC Rail Fasteners System?

The FC Rail Fasteners System is a specific type of the Fastclip system, a resilient, threadless rail fastening system designed for rapid installation and low maintenance. It is used on ballasted tracks to secure rails to concrete or steel sleepers, and its unique "switch on-switch off" function allows for quick installation and removal. The system is widely used globally on high-speed lines and is engineered for both mechanized and manual installation.

Key features and benefits

• Fast and efficient installation: Sleepers arrive pre-assembled with components held captive. The clips are "switched on" by driving them onto the rail foot using a handtool or a track machine.

• Low maintenance: The threadless design and captive components simplify maintenance, and all parts are replaceable.

• Versatility: It is compatible with various track categories and can be configured for specific applications, including different types of sleepers and specialized uses like guard rails.

• Adaptable to different conditions: The system offers options for lateral adjustment (gauge widening, redemption) and is available in different configurations to control track stiffness and longitudinal restraint.

• Global adoption: The Fastclip system is used on high-speed lines in Europe, Asia, and North America, demonstrating its reliability for high-performance tracks.

Fastclip (FC) clip: A spring steel clip that provides the clamping force.

Sleeper: The foundation to which the clips are attached. These may be concrete or steel sleepers.

Rail pad: Placed between the rail and the sleeper to provide damping, reduce vibration, and protect components.

Insulator: A component that provides electrical insulation and allows for gauge adjustment by simply swapping it for a different thickness insulator.

Pre-embedded shoulders: Cast-in shoulders on the sleeper into which the clips are fastened.
