Rail pads are elastic polyurethane mats which are interposed between steel rails and railway sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting.
Railway pads are generally considered to have two main functions:
(a) Rails provide a continuous and level surface for the movement of trains.
(b) Rails provide a pathway which is smooth and has very little friction. The friction between the steel wheel and the steel rail is about one-fifth of the friction between the pneumatic tire and a metaled road.
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.
