Rail shoulders are cast into concrete sleepers to hold the rail clips and rails. As the largest rail shoulder supplier in China, Kingrail Parts can provide both cast in and welded on shoulders.
Cast-in shoulders
Cast-in shoulders are embedded parts of the rail fastening system, pressed into concrete sleepers and assembled with E-type clips to hold the rails. The raw material we use to produce cast shoulders is cast iron, such as GB/T 1348-1988, NF EN 1563(1997), ISO1038, DIN 1693, JIS G5502 (2001), KS D 4302, GOST 7293(1985) or BS EN 1563(1997).
Weld-on shoulders
Weld-on shoulders are applied in typical locations on rails, where the rail shoulders are welded onto flat steel plates instead of standard tie plates. Weld on shoulders are produced by hot forging according to AREMA standards. Generally speaking, the material of weld on rail shoulders should be low carbon steel or medium carbon steel, depending on customer requirements.
Welded shoulders can be used with Pandrol type clips with a weight range of 30 pounds to 113 pounds.
