Track Gauge Bars Definition:

Track gauge bars are also called rail gauge rods or gauge rods. As the name suggests, the gauge rod is a rod specially designed to connect two rails at the bottom of the rail to protect the rail from tilting and keep the rail within a certain rail gauge.

Track Gauge Bars Specifications:

Material: Q235

Uses: 30, 43, 50, 60, 75kg/m rail.

Gauge: 600, 762, 900, 1450.

Diameter: 20, 22, 24, 28, 32, 36, etc.

Specifications: 20×870, 22×880, 22×1050, 24×1050, 24×28250 1810, 28×1850, 32×1810, 32×1850, 36×1850

Working Principle:

Relying on the pulling force of the tie rods to prevent the rails from opening, effectively ensuring driving safety. It is a portable, widely used in railway line construction and maintenance.

The Importance of Track Gauge Bars:

As an important accessory of the railway track, the gauge tie rod helps to improve the lateral stability of the rail and the ability to maintain the rail gauge. Some railways have track lines, and insulating gauge rods made of materials with high insulation resistance should be used to separate the lines between the two rails. If the gauge rod is severely missing, the rail gauge may deviate, and the train may derail or even roll over when passing by.

The gauge rod is composed of two clamping devices that fix the rail at both ends and a connecting rod in the middle, which fixes the two parallel railroads and the railroad with a certain rail gauge together to prevent the rails from sliding.

For some weaker sections, such as sharp bends, turnouts, broken rails and temporary rails, gauge rods are very necessary. They help prevent the rails from unbalanced longitudinal tension and maintain the rail gauge.

Features of Track Gauge Bars:

1. High strength

2. High durability

3. Excellent chemical stability

4. Simple operation

Types of Track Gauge Bars:

1. Standard Gauge Rods

The standard gauge rods at both ends include 1 rod, 4 iron clips, 4 flat washers, 4 nuts, 4 spring washers and other components, whether it is non-insulated or insulated.

2. Non-standard Gauge Rods

Customized production according to customer drawings and specific requirements.
