Rail Gauge Tie Rod For Railway Fastening
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
A gauge rod is a kind of track material used to keep track in gauge by improving the lateral stability of the rail. It is an essential reinforcement accessory for railroad tracks. Gauge rods are mostly applied at weak points in straight tracks, curved tracks, switches, bad ties, etc. Placing under the parallel rails, can grip the rails and prevent them from spreading or tilting. If the gauge rods are missing in weak sections of railway tracks, derailment accidents or even the overturn of trains may happen. Other track materials such as rail joints, rail clips, rail clamps, and rail pads are also available.
GNEE RAIL supplies both insulated gauge rods and non-insulated gauge rods for 56-½" track and rails of 60-140 lbs, AREMA 1-1/4 ", and other gauge rods used in BS, UIC rails, with lengths of 600mm,762mm,900mm,1435mm, etc. Other types of gauge rods are available according to your special requirements.

The Important Role of Rail Gauge Rod
As an important accessory for railroad tracks, rail gauge tie rod helps to improve the rails' lateral stability and also the ability to keep rail distance. There are some railways that with track circuit, then it should use the insulated rail gauge rod which adopts high insulation resistance material to separate the circuit between two rails apart. Rail gauge may deviated if gauge tie rod is serious lacked, it may cause derailment or even overturned when the train passing by.
For some weaker sections of rails, like in sharp curves, turnouts, bad ties and temporary track, rail gauge rods are quite necessary, they help to prevent the rail track from unbalanced longitudinal tension and keep regular rail gauges.
Maintenance suggestions for railroad gauge rods
(1) Continuous failure of rail brace shall not exceed 1 pair.
(2) Continuous failure of gauge rods shall not exceed 2.
(3) Failure of rail brace and gauge rod shall not occur simultaneously between 6 sleepers.
Based on the calculation and analysis of the stability coefficient of rail tilting in the section with a small radius curve, the maintenance standard suggestions of curve strengthening equipment are put forward.
In addition to gauge tie rods, GNEE RAIL supplies other key railway fastening components such as elastic rail clips, rail pads, screw spikes, fish plates, and crane rail clips. All products meet international standards like AREMA, EN, GB, and UIC, ensuring compatibility with various global railway projects.
