Role of the Rail Fastening System

 

The railway fastener system connects rails to sleepers (or track plates). It consists of spring bars (clips), gauge baffles (insulators), bolts and washers: the spring bars provide clamping pressure, the gauge baffles maintain track-gauge stability, and the fasteners secure the whole assembly. Together they fix the rail position and prevent lateral or longitudinal displacement under train loads, ensuring track stability and safety.

The FC Clip System

 

The FC clip system is an elastic split fastener system widely used in international railway construction - on both high-speed and conventional lines. Its working principle is simple: the spring clip is driven into position over the rail foot and holds the rail against the rail pad with continuous elastic pressure.

 

  • Elastic clamping: the spring clip provides stable clamping force and absorbs vibration and impact from train operation.
  • Component efficiency: FC-type designs clamp the rail directly through the insulator, reducing bolt and shoulder components and lowering maintenance effort.
  • Insulation: insulating blocks and pads electrically isolate the rail from the sleeper for electrified railways.
  • Environmental tolerance: the elastic design withstands extreme temperature fluctuation and dynamic loading.

Performance Data - Verify Before Procurement

 

The source page lists FC1500/FC1600 data (nominal clamp pressure 1000/1250 kgf; buckle pressure >16/>20 kN; climbing resistance >7/>9 kN; insulation resistance >5 kOhm). 

 

Packaging

 

  • Small parts (insulating blocks, bolts): bagged by specification into cartons with cushioning material.
  • Spring clips: individually bubble-wrapped, arranged in parallel and fixed in wooden boxes with pearl-cotton fill.
  • Rail pads: stacked, film-wrapped, protected by carton or woven bag.
