Types of Rail Clip

The rail clip produced by our company mainly include the following types:

E Type Rail Clip For Rail Fasteners

The E-type rail clip is a key elastic component in the railway track fastening system, primarily used to fasten the steel rail to the sleeper or track slab.

PR Type Rail Elastic Clip

A variety of different types of heavy-duty clips are used to fasten the rails to the underlying baseplate or Sleeper, PR Rail Clip is invented by Pandrol, and with similar assembling system like E fastening System.

SKL 12 Rail Tension Clip

The SKL 12 Rail Tension Clip, also known as the SKL12 elastic clip, is a key element in the Vossloh rail fasteners family. It is specifically engineered for use in ballastless railroad fasteners systems, an integral part of the SKL fasteners system.

Advantages of Rail Clip

Fastening Rails

Elastic rail clips are designed to fasten the rails firmly to the sleepers, preventing any movement that could lead to misalignment.

Maintaining Rail Gauge

They help in maintaining the correct distance between the two rails, known as the rail gauge, which is essential for the safe passage of trains.

Absorbing Vibrations

The clips absorb vibrations caused by passing trains, reducing wear and improving passenger comfort.

Preventing Rail Movement

By providing a strong clamping force, elastic rail clips prevent horizontal and vertical movement of the rails.

Surface Treatment of Rail Clips

● Plain (oiled)
● Color paint
● Oxide Black (most choice)
● Galavazing
● DHG
Or the surface of the spring clip can be customized according to customer requirements.

Production Process of Rail Clips

Raw material
In general, elastic rail clip is made of spring steel bar. Spring steel refers to the steel specifically for manufacturing spring and elastic components due to the elasticity in the quenched and tempered state.

Shearing
The processing method of elastic rail clip mainly adopts hot forging process. The raw material which is spring steel has to be sheared as per length required.

Heating
After shearing, spring steel should be heated to forging temperature (950-1000 degrees Celsius). One thing to notice about this link is that excessive heating should be avoided to check decarburization.

Forming
When the spring steel bar is heated to proper temperature, it will be transferred to power press for forging. Three sets of molds and fixtures are kept as drawings before hammering.

Hardening
The forged rail clips are passed through a quenching oil tank in a conveyor belt for a period of 12 minutes at a temperature of 70℃.

Tempering
After quenching, the elastic rail clips are tempered at 400-500℃ for a period of 55-60 minutes, which can achieve appropriate toughness in the spring.

Inspection
Every rail clip is put through strict quality controls before delivery, such as fatigue test, hardness test and load test, etc. All inspections will go through according to requirements from different customers.
