What is E track rail clips?

 

Rail clip is a component of railway fastening systems. It is used to fix the railroad track to the underlying baseplate and sleepers. The clamping force by rail clips helps to maintain the gauge and prevent the rail from moving in the vertical and horizontal direction relative to the sleeper. One extensively used type of rail clip is an elastic rail clip made of hot-pressed spring steel. Its energy produced at elastic deformation can alleviate the vibration and shock when trains move. Other track materials such as rail joints, gauge rods, rail clamps, and rail pads are also available.

 

An E-type rail clip, also known as an elastic rail fastening or E-clip, is a spring-loaded fastening device that provides permanent elastic clamping for rail systems. These clips mount to sleepers using four coach screws and double spring washers, creating a secure yet flexible connection. The E-clip design provides a firm grip on the rail while allowing controlled movement and vibration absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions about e type rail tension clip

 

• What makes E-clips "elastic" compared to rigid fastening methods?

 

E-clips are manufactured from spring steel that flexes under load while maintaining consistent clamping force. This elasticity allows the clip to accommodate rail movement from thermal expansion and train passage while continuously applying downward pressure, unlike rigid spikes that can loosen over time.

 

• Are E-clips suitable for high-speed rail applications?

 

Yes, E-clips are widely used in high-speed rail systems due to their excellent vibration dampening and consistent clamping characteristics. Their ability to maintain proper rail positioning under dynamic loading makes them ideal for tracks experiencing speeds above 200 km/h where traditional rigid fasteners might fail.

 

 

• How much vertical rail movement do E-clips allow?

 

E-clips typically permit 3-5mm of controlled vertical rail movement under load. This engineered flexibility helps absorb impact forces while preventing excessive displacement that could compromise track geometry or cause passenger discomfort.
