Rail clip is a component of railway fastening systems. It is used to fix the railroad track to the underlying baseplate and sleepers. The clamping force by rail clips helps to maintain the gauge and prevent the rail from moving in the vertical and horizontal direction relative to the sleeper.
As one of the common railway fasteners in rail fastening system, elastic railway clips are made of forged spring steel and have many applications in railroad. No matter as a part of railway fastening system or as a railway fastener, elastic railway clips are used together with other railway components, such as rail spike, rail tie plate, rail pad and rail plastic dowel.
The Nabla clips's hardness of this elastic rail clip is HRC51-55 and all GNEE's elastic railway clips have excellent elastic property, with load 2500DaN. The finished Nabla clip can be painted red or other colors, according to the requirement of our client.
