What is Rail Gauge Rod?

A Rail Gauge Rod (also known as a gauge tie rod or bar) is a steel structural component used to connect two parallel rails at their base, specifically to prevent them from tilting, spreading apart, or losing their required spacing. They are crucial for maintaining lateral stability, especially in weak track areas like sharp curves, turnouts, and under heavy, slow-moving loads.

Application 30, 43, 50, 60, 75kg/m steel rail
Rail Gauge 600, 762, 900 and 1450
Diameter 20, 22, 24, 28, 32, 36 etc
Specification 20×870, 22×880, 22×1050, 24×1050, 24×1250, 28×1810, 28×1850, 32×1810, 32×1850, 36×1850

Working Principle:

Depend on the tensile force of the rod to prevent the rail from spreading, and ensure traffic safety effectively. It is a portable and widely used in rail lines construction and maintenance.

Maintenance suggestions of railroad gauge rods

(1) Continuous failure of rail brace shall not exceed 1 pair.

(2) Continuous failure of gauge rods shall not exceed 2.

(3) Failure of rail brace and gauge rod shall not occur simultaneously between 6 sleepers.

Based on the calculation and analysis of the stability coefficient of rail tilting in the section with a small radius curve, the maintenance standard suggestions of curve strengthening equipment are put forward.

Usage of Rail Gauge Rods
Rail gauge rod is a kind of steel member that is used to connect two rails together at the bottom of rails. Rail gauge rod are used to improve the lateral stability of rails and improve the gauge-keeping capacity of the railway track.
Not all sections of the railway track are needed to install the rail gauge rods. Only in the special sections whose curve radius are less than a certain value or in the station yards or in other special areas we need to install the gauge rod.
