What are the types of rail joints?

Rail Joints also called railway fish plates or joint bars, or splice bars is a metal joint bars connected to the ends of two rails to bond them together. A quality rail joint bar can largely reduce the impact of wheels on the jointing sections of the rail tracks. And increase the continuity and steadiness of the train when passing through the jointing sections. These rail components are guaranteed railroad transportation safety no matter whether it’s light or heavy.

Types of rail joints

We supply more than 30 types of rail joints, according to different standards:

Rail joints for light rail: 8kg, 9kg, 12kg, 15kg, 18kg, 22kg, 24kg and 30kg

Rail joints for heavy rail: 38kg, 43kg, 50kg, and 60kg

Crane rail joints: QU70, QU80, QU100, and QU120

To ensure the fine use of railroad equipment, we need to maintain the rail joints from time to time in order to improve quality and avoid any accidents.

Assembling and maintenance standards for rail joints:

STEP1: Check if the bolts are well fastened and make sure no wounds or cracks on the surface

STEP 2: Keep each connecting rod and locking device clear from cracks. No grinding or corrosion on the rod body or abrasion pinhole less than 1mm. Good insulation shall be maintained.

STEP 3: All iron rod connections with good insulation. The insulation link between the locked iron and gauge rod are both fine. In uninsulated conditions, a 3mm gap should be kept and not into other parts. And bolts are fastened well.

STEP 4: Ensure no cracks on the shell of the switch machine to assemble rail joints, and the installation is firm under good lock condition.

STEP 5: Ensure the oil tank circuit is in good protection without damage or being buried by ballasts or other debris.

Principle of rail clamp design

Principle of rail clamp design rail clamp design The rail clamp design has several functional features: 1. Adjustability: The adjustable length is 15mm, and its adjustability functions include: (1) The rail presser is easy to install, saves time, and has high precision (2) The track can be adjusted if the structure of the support beam is slightly changed. 2. Anti-loosening: Under the action of the lateral force of the track, through the force analysis of the welding RTYB, a part of these lateral forces are transmitted to the bottom seat through the upper cover plate as the pressure of the bottom edge to seat on the upper cover plate. The other part is the lateral friction between the base and the upper cover. Since the wedge-shaped action between the base and the upper cover plate is converted into the tightening force of the bolts, it has an anti-loosening effect. 3. Self-locking: The three pieces are self-locking together through the interaction of the upper cover, the base, and the

What is rail creep

What is rail creep rail creep Rail creep is also known as line crawl. The creeping phenomenon of the rail along the longitudinal direction of the line. With the increase in railway transportation tasks, the impact of the wheels on the rails when the train is running accelerates the creep of the rails. Rail creep can cause many diseases of the line. In order to prevent the occurrence of track creep diseases, it is necessary to find out the real cause of creeping in order to effectively eliminate the problem. There are two different manifestations: the rails move along the soft sleeper surface due to insufficient fastening pressure of the fasteners; the longitudinal movement of the row is caused by insufficient ballast bed resistance. The reason for this is the longitudinal force of the rail caused by the wheel rolling and longitudinal slip, train braking, the change of rail temperature, and the creep caused by the deflection and deformation of the rail under the action of the wheel load
