Rail Anchor Technical Specifications
Sep 22, 2025
Rail anchors are applied to the rail base directly and lodge up against the tie, they are equipped to fasten rail track on the base plate and sleepers, it is designed in one-piece construction to prevent the rail from longitudinal movements, as"creeping" of the rail, which caused by changing temperature, grades, traffic patterns, and braking action of trains.

For heavy rail tracks such as 50kg, 70lb, 80lb, 90/91lb, best option for steel material is 60Si2MnA, based on our former production experience and customer feed back, this material shows more stable mechanical property than most common material for rail anchor production is 60Si2MnA.
Rail Anchors Production from GNEE
GNEE manufactures different types of rail anchors from special T shaped spring steel, after the forging and heat treatment it has advantage of uniform strength and lasting service. The anchors are used where the fastenings system requires an extra creep resisting arrangement. There are various shapes of the anchor which is made of rolled bars of various sections. When wheel runs on the rail, the railway anchor grips the rail firmly and when set against sleepers, resists longitudinal movement of the rails caused by passing trains.
Rail Anchor Production Process
The quality parameters of rail anchor has been produced strictly according to International Standards and large quantity can be provided to customers for largeproduction capacity. GNEE rail anchors can provide full raise base contact, distribute creeping loading evenly, Eliminate sleeper chewing and climbing, so choose GNEE as your supplier for rail anchor and other rail fastening parts is a wise choice!
