1x6-5/16” BS Screw Spike for Railroad Use
Oct 20, 2025
The screw spike is also known as rail screw. As one kind of Rail spike, it is a metal screw for fixing rail fasteners. Screw spike is usually made of NO.3 steel. Because its nail rod surface has thread, so it is called screw spike. The pull-out resistance is 0.5 ~ 1.0 times larger than that of common rail spike, but the thrust resistance is 50% less. Due to disassembly and assembly inconvenience, it is difficult to adjust the rail gauge, which is generally used on the railway turnout.
A BS screw spike is a type of railroad screw spike that meets the BS64 standard for normal strength. These are used to fasten rails to sleepers (ties) and are made of materials like carbon steel.
The 1×6-5/16" BS Screw Spike is a high-strength rail fastener that complies with the British Standard (BS), primarily used to securely fix rails onto sleepers. Made from high-strength carbon steel and treated with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this screw spike offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for coastal, tunnel, and high-humidity environments. Its threaded design provides higher holding power and pull-out resistance compared to traditional dog spikes, ensuring rail stability under high-frequency train operations and heavy-load conditions.
Manufactured by GNEE RAIL, the BS Screw Spike features a tensile strength of 775–925 N/mm², elongation of 20%, and impact toughness (KCU) ≥ 65 J. It meets BS, UIC, and AREMA international railway standards, demonstrating outstanding reliability and durability in long-term railway projects.
