Product Introduction
The SKL fastener system is the core component for achieving reliable connection between rails and sleepers in railway track engineering. It is composed of spring bars, rail pads, gauge baffles and other components. Through mechanical structural design, it can firmly lock the rails on the sleepers and effectively disperse the vertical pressure, lateral thrust and longitudinal tension generated by the train running. The system uses high-strength spring steel and modified nylon composite materials. The spring bar is treated with medium-frequency induction quenching, with a surface hardness of HRC58-62 and a 30% improvement in fatigue resistance.

SKL rail fastener system is widely used in ballasted track. The system consists of:
SKL spring bar: It is the core component, usually with models such as W14, made of high-quality spring steel, such as 60Si2MnA, and fastens the rail through its own elastic deformation to provide fastening pressure.
Sleeper screws and washers: Sleeper screws are used to fix various components on the sleepers, and washers increase the contact area, prevent screws from loosening, and protect the sleeper surface.
Gauge block: Maintains the gauge of the rails so that the rails maintain the correct position relationship when the train is running. There are different specifications for gauge adjustment.
Rail pad: Placed between the rails and sleepers, buffers the train load, reduces the wear of both, and provides a certain insulation performance to reduce the risk of leakage in the track circuit.
Plastic sleeve: Pre-buried in the sleeper, provides an installation position for the sleeper screws to prevent the sleeper from being damaged when installing and removing the screws.

Product Application
SKL rail fastener system has the following main applications in ballasted track:
Rail and sleeper connection: SKL spring bars, sleeper screws, washers, gauge blocks, rail pads and plastic sleeves work together to firmly fix the rails on the sleepers.
Adapt to line changes: By replacing gauge blocks of different specifications or adjusting related components, the gauge can be fine-tuned to adapt to the line changes of ballasted tracks in different sections.
Vibration and noise reduction: The elastic components of the SKL rail fastener system, such as spring bars and rail pads, can effectively buffer the vibration and impact generated by train operation, reduce the transmission of vibration to the ballast bed and roadbed, reduce the vibration and noise level of the ballasted track, extend the service life of the ballast bed and roadbed, and improve passenger riding comfort.
Turnout area application: In the turnout area of ballasted track, SKL rail fastener system can be used to fix various components of the turnout, such as point rails, stock rails, frogs, etc., to ensure the stability and reliability of the turnout and ensure the safe and smooth operation of trains in the turnout area.
