What Is A Rail Pad

A rail pad is inserted in between the rail and baseplate or sleeper. Rail pad is introduced to the railway fastening system because of its resilience or viscoelasticity which can be implemented in the intervention of fatigue cracking of sleepers. The dynamic stress from the wheel or rail impact from both regular and irregular movements is attenuated. There is the added advantage of reducing track maintenance and associated costs. Other track materials such as rail joints, rail clips, rail clamps, and gauge rods are also available.

GNEE Rail Pad Types

 

GNEE  provides exceptional elastic rail pads of various types for high-speed railways, normal-speed railways, and cranes. Especially the rail pads made of rubber, EVA, TPEE, and HDPE are very popular with customers. Our railway rubber pads fit the rails such as UIC54, UIC60, BS80lbs, BS100lbs, etc. We have more than 130set of machines in our production lines which can reach an annual production capacity of up to 2000, 000 pieces of rail pads. We offer a wide range of rail pads and other track materials at competitive prices.

Studded and Grooved Rail Pad

 

Studded and grooved rail pads can adapt to the increasing traction and axle loads of heavy-haul trains as the rail transit industry fast developing. High resilience is provided by flexural and shear deformation, the elastic recovery rate is fast. What's more, under the action of vertical dynamic force, the deformation seismic amplitude is large and the dynamic stiffness is low.

 

• Studded rail pad

 

The studded design together with its natural or synthetic elastomer material leads to high resilience and abrasion resistance. They can also provide excellent impact attenuation, noise suppression, extended track, and ballast life. Because they can adapt to higher speeds and improve passenger comfort, studded rail pads become a very common choice across the world.

 

 

• Grooved rail pad

 

There are grooves on the upper surface of the rubber pad, which can ensure that the bottom of the rail is always in close contact with the rubber pad, reducing the wear of the rubber pad. The middle of the rubber pad is set with a steel sheet to strengthen the lateral stiffness of the rubber pad. The thickness of the steel sheet is very thin, which is easy to roll up for transportation.
