Core Components for Safer Railways: Fishplates, Sleepers, and Rail Clips
When rails are used for industrial purposes, they usually require a variety of accessories, such as fishtail plates, bolts, sleepers, rail presses, etc.
Railway Accessories — Fishplate
rail fishplates
Fishtail cleat (rail joint cleat) commonly known as road cleat, also known as fishplate, in the rail joints to play a role in the connection. It is divided into light rail, heavy rail and lifting rail. Fishplate is a kind of connecting fastener used for the connection between rail and track.
With the continuous development of railway to heavy load, high speed, as the main bearing parts of the railway rail performance has been more and more extensive attention, through the rail head full-length quenching heat treatment or alloying and other means of reinforcement, has made the strength of the rail to reach the level of 1000MPa, and in the further improvement.
In fact, the rails are connected through the fishplate and other coupling parts to keep the joint range and the same rail to withstand the bending moment and lateral force, fishplate of the working condition and safety performance of the same directly affects the line’s operating status and safety, the scene due to the failure of the fishtail plate leading to the phenomenon of major accidents occur from time to time.
Fishplate parameters
Use: Fishtail plate is a kind of connecting fasteners used for connecting between rails.
Fishplate model according to the rail can be divided into: 8kg, 9kg, 12kg, 15kg, 18kg, 22kg, 24kg, 30kg, 38kg, 43kg, 50kg, 60kg, 75kg. insulated light rail fishtail plate has 8KG, 9KG, 12KG, 15KG, 18KG, 22KG, 24KG, 30KG.
Distinguished by material: ductile cast iron, Q235 rolled, forged and so on. Fishtail plate mainly uses medium carbon steel and high carbon steel as raw material. Our main production of fishtail plate type 8kg, 9kg, 12kg, 15kg, 18kg, 22kg, 24kg, 30kg, 38kg, 43kg, 50kg, 60kg, 75kg, S49, 115RE, 119RE, 132RE, 133RE, 136RE, 141RE, BS75R, BS80A, BS90A, BS95RBH, BS100A, BS113A, UIC54, UIC60, insulated J75, insulated J60, insulated J50, insulated 43, QU70, QU80, QU100, QU120, and various kinds of insulated and glued fishtail boards. We also produce machined composite fishtail plates and cast iron, cast steel, forged, rolled and injection moulded fishtail plates.
Railway accessories–Rail sleeper
rail sleeper
The rail sleeper is an important part of the track structure, bearing a variety of forces from the rail, and elasticity of the force spread in the roadbed, while effectively maintaining the track gauge, direction and position.
According to the material is divided into: wood sleeper, concrete sleeper, turnout track sleeper, steel sleeper, including composite material sleeper.
Wooden sleeper refers to the rails made of wood. Also known as sleepers. The production of wood sleepers must be selected tough and flexible wood. Wooden sleepers can be divided into ordinary sleepers according to the use of sleepers, switching sleepers, bridge sleepers. Ordinary sleepers standard length of 2.5 m, the shape of its section is divided into I, Ⅱ two categories, for different levels of lines.
Wooden sleepers commonly used species are red pine, larch, ponytail pine, spruce and fir and so on.
Among the rail sleepers currently used, concrete sleepers are widely used for their advantages of high dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance, which improve the safety and comfort of train operation.
Composite rail sleeper is a modern rail sleeper manufactured with high-performance composite materials such as glass fibre reinforced plastics, carbon fibre composites or polymer matrix composites. It is widely used in railway, metro and industrial track systems.
Steel sleeper is a track sleeper made of high-quality steel as the main raw material. Widely used in special working conditions of railway engineering, especially in heavy railways, bridge tracks and harsh environments.
According to its cross-section can be divided into: grooved steel sleeper, the cross-section of the steel sleeper is grooved, commonly used in bridge tracks; H-type steel sleeper, the cross-section of the H-shaped, commonly used in heavy-duty railways and mine tracks; box-type steel sleeper, with higher structural stability, suitable for high-vibration, high-impact railway lines.
Rail Accessories–Rail Presser
rail clips
The rail presser is also called welded rail presser, welded rail fixing device, steel beam rail presser, welded pressure plate, and its function is to press and fix the rail. The rail presser is usually welded on the I-beam and sometimes used on the steel plate embedded in the concrete.
Rail Presser standard
Rail pressers device can be divided into WJK, SWJK, HWJK series TG38, TG43, TG50, TG60, QU70, QU80, QU100, QU120 by the base, the upper cover, through the Shaw, spring flat washer composition.
Rail pressers device quality: there are two kinds of pressure rail device quality: 1: half cast steel: the top cover is ductile cast iron, the base is cast steel. 2: full cast steel: the top cover and the base are cast steel. Our company mainly produces the model of the pressure rail clips:
Bolted rail clips: 3116 / 3120 / 3124, etc;
Welded rail clip: 1615 / 9116, etc;
WJK rail clip: TG38/QU100/QU120, etc;
GDGL rail clips: GDGL-1(for p38 rail)/GDGL-6(for qu100 rail)/GDGL-7(for qu120 rails), etc.
Glory Rail can supply one-stop shop of rail construction, the products include: steel rail, rail clips, flshplates, rail joints, and other rail accessories. We can provide the bets product quality and the best price, so if you have any needs, welcome to contact us!
