What are the two main types of Rail Pads

Rail pad is a kind of rail fasteners used between the rails and the tie plate, and it is usually made of elastic polyurethane mat. It is usually used under the rails and above the tie plate. Rubber rail pad can buffer the shake that the vehicles pushed on the tie plate and protect the tie plate and the sleeper from abrasion and impaction and prolong the service life of other fasteners.

 

 

The two main types of Rail Pads

 

 

Grooved Rail Pads

 

 

As a leading manufacturer of resilient rail pads to protect concrete rail sleepers from damage caused by the dynamic forces of passing trains, GNEE RAIL Rail is one of the few approved suppliers of grooved rubber pads to the China Railways. Its grooved rubber pads are also used extensively in China and abroad.

The combination of grooved design and selected rubbers gives these pads their unique high resilience, robustness and anti-weathering properties. Their superiority to those manufactured from other materials has been amply proven by their ability to reduce dynamic forces by up to 65% - a crucial consideration as railway systems worldwide adopt higher speed and greater axle loads.

The grooved rubber pads positioned between the underside of the rail and top of the sleeper provide effective impact attenuation and extended life.
