Rail clip is a component of railway fastening systems. It is used to fix the rails to underlying baseplate and sleepers. Its main function is to prevent the rail from moving.
Selecting appropriate rail clips is critical for the safety and stability of railway track systems. The following factors must be considered when choosing rail clips:
Gauge
Gauge refers to the distance between tracks. Different track gauges require different types of rail clips. GNEE RAIL supplies various clip types such as SKL rail clips, E-type railway clips, KPO rail clamps, and FAST rail elastic clips. We also offer customization based on client requirements to ensure our products meet user needs.
Track Type
Different track types necessitate different rail clip varieties. This is crucial, as selecting incorrect clip types may lead to track instability or even accidents.
Sleeper Type
The type of sleeper used in the railway system is a key factor influencing rail clip selection. Different rail clips are suitable for different sleeper types, such as wooden sleepers, concrete sleepers, and steel sleepers. In addition to rail clips, we provide various railway fasteners including dog-head spikes, screw spikes, fish plates, fish bolts, rail anchors, and railway pads etc.
Environmental Conditions
External environmental factors such as temperature and humidity affect the durability and strength of rail clips. For example, temperature variations in railway systems can cause track expansion or contraction. Our clips are manufactured from high-quality spring steel, enabling them to withstand specific environmental conditions and perform effectively across diverse scenarios.
From the first step of raw material purchasing to the final step of finished products, we do strict inspections. GNEE RAILuses high precision inspection machines to make sure the finished elastic rail clips meet the requirements.
