Introduction to the use of track clamps

Track clamps are a common fastener on steel rails, which is mainly used to fix the sleepers of the track with concrete, thereby reducing the greater impact on the track during the operation of the train. Manufacturers of rail pressboards not only have diverse styles and specifications but also have higher quality requirements in use.

In order to better exert its tightness when in use, rail clamps are often used together with clamps.Let’s follow the rail clamp manufacturers to see how the rail clamps are used.

The use of adjustable combined rail clamps for rail track clamps can overcome the failures of traditional rail clamps in use in the past. Traditional track clamps are often used directly against the rail steel to press the rails. After installation, there is no guarantee that the clamps and the track will have Reliable contact. Some pressure plates can no longer be adjusted in the horizontal direction after installation.

This is easy to wear after normal load or thermal expansion and contraction cause the track to move longitudinally, causing the pressure plate bolts to loosen, the pressure plate to rotate, and cause the track surface to wear And gnawing the rail, it will break the rail in severe cases, which will also affect the wear of the main engine wheel and the damage of the driving mechanism.
Laying rubber composite pads on the bottom of the rail and pre-compressing the rail can prevent the rail from generating local rail lifting force during the movement of the rail under the large wheel pressure, causing the bolts to loosen and affecting the damage of each device. It can also allow the track to move longitudinally when the track is heated and contracted, without causing wear to the pressure plate track, and can keep the track bottom surface of the track in close contact with the rubber composite backing plate laid on the track.

To sum up, it is the correct way to use the rail clamp. If you understand these, you can give full play to its product advantages when you use the rail clamp in the future. The track pressure plate is a key railway accessory. Before use, the selection of its parameters and quality should be carried out in accordance with strict standards.
