E2009 Rail Clip for Railway Fastening System
Jan 05, 2026
The E2009 rail clip is a crucial component of the Pandrol e-Clip rail fastening system, known for providing durable, elastic clamping with excellent creep and twisting resistance. It is made from high-strength spring steel and is used globally to secure rail tracks to sleepers.

Difference between E2009 Rail Clip and E2055 Rail Spring Clip:
The E2009 and E2055 are both types of E-type elastic rail clips, made from spring steel for securing rails to sleepers, but the main differences lie in their specific dimensions (like wire diameter/cross-section) and intended applications, with the E2055 often designed for heavier-duty use and higher loads, while the E2009 is a common, robust standard clip, both providing essential elastic fastening for track stability.
Key Differences (General Trends):
- E2009: A standard, strong elastic clip, often with a 20mm wire diameter (Ø 20mm) and designed for high performance, used widely in various regions like Brazil and America.
- E2055: Also uses a 20mm diameter but is often specified for heavier-haul applications and higher stress conditions, indicating a more robust design or higher clamping force.

Rail Clip Production Process:
Based on the process production, elastic rail clip manufacture process can be summarized as eight links: raw material- shearing- heating- forming- hardening- tempering- inspection- packing.

Types of Rail Tension Clip:
As a part of railway fastening system, rail clip is designed for resulting in the role of buckle pressure on the track by bending and twisting. Elastic rail clip is a reliable connection between steel rails. Main rail clip function is as possible as ensure integrity of railway track. In summary, elastic rail clips are used to prevent vertical and horizontal movement of steel rail relative to the railway sleeper. And then, rail clip ensure the normal gauge, so as to ensure the safety of rail vehicles.
According to different standards and applications, Rail clips can be divided into various types. The common elastic railway clip types include SKL clip, Deenik clip, Nabla clip and etc.
