Rail pads are elastic polyurethane mats which are interposed between steel rails and railway sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting.
Studded and Grooved Rail Pad
Studded and grooved rail pads can adapt to the increasing traction and axle loads of heavy-haul trains as the rail transit industry fast developing. High resilience is provided by flexural and shear deformation, the elastic recovery rate is fast. What's more, under the action of vertical dynamic force, the deformation seismic amplitude is large and the dynamic stiffness is low.
Studded rail pad
The studded design together with its natural or synthetic elastomer material leads to high resilience and abrasion resistance. They can also provide excellent impact attenuation, noise suppression, extended track, and ballast life. Because they can adapt to higher speeds and improve passenger comfort, studded rail pads become a very common choice across the world.
Grooved rail pad
There are grooves on the upper surface of the rubber pad, which can ensure that the bottom of the rail is always in close contact with the rubber pad, reducing the wear of the rubber pad. The middle of the rubber pad is set with a steel sheet to strengthen the lateral stiffness of the rubber pad. The thickness of the steel sheet is very thin, which is easy to roll up for transportation.
GNEE RAIL provides exceptional elastic rail pads of various types for high-speed railways, normal-speed railways, and cranes. Especially the rail pads made of rubber, EVA, TPEE, and HDPE are very popular with customers. If you need more product information, please contact us.
