What is the material of the Grooved rubber sole plate?

Jan 06, 2026 Leave a message

Grooved Rubber Sole Plate can be fixed between the steel rails and concrete sleepers. It can manage the compressive shear loads and has high abrasion resistance. The plate has been designed to lessen the shocks made by vibration. It is extremely appreciable for its cushioned nature and can lessen the shocks & impacts grounded by vibration.

What is the material of the Grooved rubber sole plate?

 

Grooved rubber sole plates are primarily made from high-quality rubber, often natural rubber, sometimes blended with plastic or other elastomers for specific properties, designed to be durable, shock-absorbing, and weather-resistant for applications like railway tracks.

Types of Rail Pads at GNEE RAIL

 

GNEE's railway anti creep grooved rubber sole plate (GRSP) is an upgraded rail accessory engineered to solve the core problem of rail creep and enhance track stability.

 

Crafted with a layered composite structure, this GRSP features a premium metallic or polymer lining sandwiched between two or more layers of similar or dissimilar materials. This innovative design significantly boosts the product's tensile strength, allowing it to withstand the high dynamic forces generated by train operation and avoid deformation or fracture under long-term use.

 

Ideal for various track systems including standard gauge railways, heavy haul lines and urban transit rails, our improved GRSP delivers reliable anti-creep performance, extends the service life of track components and reduces overall maintenance costs for railway projects.

 

GNEE RAIL offers a wide variety of rail pads including:

 

  • Grooved rubber sole plates with a thickness between 6mm to 10 mm.

 

  • Composite grooved rubber sole plates with CGRSP between 6.2mm and 10 mm thickness.

 

  • Elastomeric pads for railways.
