Product Description

What is rail anchor

The rail anchor or rail anti-climbing device is a spring steel clip, which is connected to the underside of the sleeper plate and rests on the side of the sleeper. The function of the rail anchor is to prevent longitudinal movement of the rail due to temperature changes or vibration.

The rail anchor is directly installed on the rail baseplate and leans on the rail tie rod. The rail anchor provides a large bearing surface for the rail base and sleepers, prevents cutting and abrasion, and ultimately extends the service life of the sleepers. Anchors are manufactured for specific rail weight and base width, and can be divided into two types: driven on rail anchors and spring-loaded rail anchors.

Application rules of rail anchor

How to install rail anchor correctly? Regarding the application of rail anchor, generally follow the following rules:
1. The rail anchor should be located on the rail gauge side of the railway base and opposite to the same rail gauge tie rod face on the opposite rail track.
2. The railorad anchor must firmly fix the track base and fully support the rail track contact surface.
3. When the rail anchor's support to the rail gauge tie rod is disturbed, a new rail anchor and a rail tie plates will be required.
4. The railroad anchor should not be moved by driving along the rail track.
5. When applying irion railroad anchor, keep the rail track straight.

Production Process

Production process of rail anchor

The rail anchor is usually a one-piece metal made of spring steel by rolling, forging or casting after heat treatment. Railroad anchors with complicated bending are usually produced by casting.
