HRC44-48 60Si2Mn Plain Coating E2055 Rail Clip
Oct 16, 2025
Rail clip, or called elastic rail clip, is used to fasten steel rails to the underlying tie plate. Through bending and distortion, rail clip can put pressure on the rail, which prevents longitudinal movement of the rail, either from changes in temperature or through vibration. In general, rail clips are made of forged spring steel produced by hot forging process. Because of the most uniform microstructure, the forged rail clips are considered to be better than other metal forming process.
Varieties of rail clips:
E-type Clip: E1609, E1809, E1813, E2001, E2039, E1817, E2006, E2007, E2009, E2055, E2056, E2063, E2091.
SKL Tension clips: SKL1, SKL3, SKL12, SKL14, SKL75
PR Series Clips: PR85, PR309A, PR401, PR415, PR401A
Other Rail Clips: N clips, D type rail clip, Fast clip, gauge lock clip, Deenik clip
Non standard rail clips: You provide Rail Clips drawings and we will produce for your customized requirements.
The E2055 rail clip, as a mainstream model of the E-series clips, plays a crucial role in securing the rail firmly to the sleeper through stable clamping force. At the same time, it absorbs lateral impacts and longitudinal vibrations generated during train passage, effectively preventing rail displacement and maintaining accurate track gauge.

The plain coating (commonly hot-dip galvanized or mechanically galvanized) applied to the surface of the rail spring clip provides multiple key advantages. It effectively isolates air, moisture, and corrosive agents, preventing rust and oxidation of the base metal and ensuring the structural integrity of the clip. In addition, it reduces direct friction and wear between the clip, rail pad, and installation tools, thereby minimizing component abrasion during use. Furthermore, the excellent protective properties of the coating extend service life and reduce replacement frequency during maintenance, helping to lower long-term operation and maintenance costs.
