Rail Accessories High Intensity Rail Gauge Rod
Rail gauge rod, also named gauge tie rod or gauge tie bar, is a member bar which is specially designed to joint two steel rails at the rail bottom to protect the rails from tilting and keep the rails in certain rail gauge
Product Introduction
The rail gauge rod is an essential high-intensity accessory in railway fastening systems, primarily used to connect the bottoms of two rails, ensuring accurate gauge and preventing lateral spreading or tilting during train operations. GNEE RAIL's high-intensity gauge rods are made of premium Q235 carbon steel, heat-treated or quenched and tempered to enhance tensile strength and fatigue performance, ensuring long-term stable operation.
Gauge rods can be used with rail profiles from 30kg/m to 75kg/m, with common gauges of 600mm, 762mm, 900mm, and 1435mm. Diameters range from Ø20 to Ø36, and lengths can be customized according to project requirements.
Influence factors of rail gauges
Traffic Condition:
If the intensity of traffic on the track is likely to be more, a gauge wider than the standard gauge is suitable.
Development of Poor Areas:
The narrow gauges are laid in certain parts of the world to develop a poor area and thus link the poor area with the outside developed world.
Cost of Track:
- The cost of railway track is directly proportional to the width of its gauge.
- If the fund available is not sufficient to construct a standard gauge, a metre gauge or a narrow gauge is preferred rather than having no railways at all.
Speed of Movement:
- The speed of a train is a function of the diameter of wheel which in turn is limited by the gauge.
- The wheel diameter is usually about 0.75 times the gauge width and thus, the speed of a train is almost proportional to the gauge.
- If higher speeds are to be attained, the B.G track is preferred to the M.G or N.G track.
Nature of Country:
In mountainous country, it is advisable to have a narrow gauge of the track since it is more flexible and can be laid to a smaller radius on the curves.
This is the main reason why some important railways, covering thousands of kilometers, are laid with a gauge as narrow as 610 mm.
Rail Accessories Packaging & Delivery
Gauge rods are packaged with moisture and rust protection, typically on pallets or in reinforced wooden crates with model and batch information marked, accompanied by inspection reports and packing lists. Full-container or LCL shipments are available, along with export documentation and third-party inspection services.
