Railway Clips Definition:
Railway clips are one of the common rail fasteners in rail fastening systems. Under normal circumstances, the elastic rail clips are made of forged spring steel and have many uses. Whether as part of a rail fastening system or as a rail fastener, railroad clips are used together with other railway track components, such as railway spikes, rail pads, tie plates and plastic dowels.
Railway Clips Functions:
Like other rail fasteners, the main function of rail clips is to fix sleepers and rails together. Railroad clips are considered to be one of the best ways to ensure that rails will not move, bend, warp or rot. According to data, each elastic rail clip can withstand about two tons of force on the railway track.
Types of Railway Clips:
According to different uses, Rail clips can be divided into E-type rail clips, SKL rail clips, Nabla rail clips, Deenik rail clips, crane clips and other types.
1. E type rail clips
E-type rail clips can provide long-lasting alignment and can protect the rails and fasteners from high pressure. The material of the e rail is spring steel, which makes the e clip have high strength. There are many types of e-clip: E1609, E1809, E1817, E2007, E2009, E2055, etc.
Material: 60Si2MnA 60Si2CrA 55Si2Mn 38Si7
Hardness: 44-48HRC
Fatigue life: Dia.18 is 3 million cycles without breaking. Dia.20 is 5 million cycles without breaking
Surface: plain color (oiled), oxidized black, painted or according to customer requirements
Standard: DIN17221, BS970, GB/T1222
2. SKL rail clips
SKL clips, also known as SKL tension clamps, include SKL1, SKL3, SKL12, SKL14, SKL75 and many other types.
Material: 60Si2MnA 60Si2CrA 55Si2Mn 38Si7
Hardness: 42-47HRC
Fatigue life: Dia.18 is 3 million cycles without breaking. Dia.20 is 5 million cycles without breaking
Surface: plain color (oiled), oxidized black, painted or according to customer requirements
Standard: DIN17221, BS970, GB/T1222
3. Nabla rail clips
Nabla rail fastening systems are generally used for rail fastening systems. The nabla clip is made of 60Si2MnA, and the surface can be painted according to customer requirements.
Material: 60Si2MnA
Hardness: HRC41-48
Size: According to customer's drawing
Surface: plain color (oiled), oxidized black, painted or according to customer requirements
Standard: DIN17221, BS970, GB/T1222
4. Deenik rail clip
Deenik rail clips are mainly used for concrete sleepers and are popularized in South America.
Material: 60Si2CrA, 55Si2Mn, 38Si7
Hardness: 42-47HRC
Fatigue life: Dia.18 is 3 million cycles without breaking. Dia.20 is 5 million cycles without breaking
Surface: plain (oiled), oxidized black, painted or according to customer requirements
5. Crane rail clips
Crane rail clips are mainly used to fix steel rails on crane rails, and are usually used in conjunction with rail baseplates.
