How to install the rail fasteners better

  How to install the rail fasteners better rail fasteners Generally, there are two types of rail beams for installing rail fasteners, one is concrete material and the other is steel structure material. For concrete beams, pre-embedded holes must be reserved in advance when building beams. These holes are used for bolts when installing rail fasteners. Of course, bolts can also be directly buried in beams. Commonly used installation methods include hook screw fixation, pressure plate fixation, welding, and bolt combination fixation. When punching, the depth of the hole must be deep enough. This is to facilitate the later adjustment in the horizontal direction. If you need to adjust in the vertical direction, remember to put a cushion under the rail. The material of the rail fasteners is different and the rigidity is also different. It can be set to single-hole or double-hole according to the force situation on site. There are also many connection methods to choose from. It should be ...

What are rail pads and their function and classifications?

What are rail pads and their function and classifications? The rail pad is an elastic polyurethane mat. They are interposed between steel rails and railway sleepers. It protects the sleeper top from wearing and impacting. The starting stiffness of a rail pad is designed to not be high so that their relative deformation under the spring clip toe loads is greatly substantial. In this way, it can guarantee the rail pad maintains close contact with the rail despite any vertical movements of the latter. In addition, the reason why rail pads are made up of rubber or plastic is to dampen the shocks of vibration of a passing train. Rail pad functions A rail rubber pad is essential in reducing shock and vibration in a rail system. The pad function is : 1. Load distribution over a larger surface 2. Elimination of load concentration and the resultant fatigue stresses 3. Centering of loads on the supporting element 4. Absorption of uneven contact surfaces between rail and support 5. Reduction of n...

What are the types of rail joints?

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 fo...

Rolling Process Design of 115RE Steel rail

Rolling Process Design of 115RE Steel rail Rolling Process Design of  115RE  rail 115RESteel rail introduction: The 115RE Steel rail is one of the standard sections formulated by the US railway department. Its theoretical unit weight is 56.89 kg/m, and it is the main type of rail that the US undertakes for railway operations. Pangang Steel rail and Beam Factory designs and develops the key points and technical difficulties in the rolling process, such as the installation of fishplates, the control of the bottom width of the Steel rail, the control of the flatness, and the distribution of the common extension coefficient, according to the specifications and technical conditions of the  115RE rail . The success has made the 115RE hot-rolled Steel rail the first high-end export Steel rail developed by Panzhihua Iron and Steel in accordance with American standards, successfully opened the door to the US railway steel market, and further enhanced the i...

Brief talk about the ground rail installation of 600-ton gantry crane —— steel backing plate

  Brief talk about the ground rail installation of 600-ton gantry crane —— steel backing plate Introduction of steel backing plate: steel soleplates We also call it  steel soleplate . It is an important component of the track structure. The under-rail pad between the rail and the sleeper plays an important role in bearing and vibration reduction in the wheel-rail power system. With the development of heavy-duty high-speed railway transportation, the axle load is increasing day by day. While the rail is heavy, higher requirements are placed on the vibration damping performance, impact resistance, and service life of the backing plate. 1. Track parameters: Rail model: QU120 Track top width: 120 Track height: 170 Rail width: 170 1.1 Fixing scheme of rails: Using the continuous rail fixing method purchased by Glory Rail 2. Pre-embedded bolts and steel base plate 2.1 Embedded bolt specifications and anti-rust treatment Specifications: M24 with hook type embedded bolt Material: Q23...

What’s steel rail?

  1. What’s  steel rail ? Steel rails are the load-bearing and guiding elements in a railway or crane track. The train rail profile is an asymmetrical I-beam with a wide flat bottom that fits on the railroad track. Steel rail profiles consist of a head at the top. The web supports the head and is comparatively thinner. At the base of the component is the foot that rests on the track. Wheels rest on top of the rail, with wheel flanges extending downwards on the insides of the rails. The devices are produced in fixed lengths with end-to-end joints creating a continuous surface. One method of linking the sections is bolting them together using fish plates. 2. Application Steel rails are employed in a broad spectrum of transportation functions, outlined by the following categories: Mass transit—passenger railways, underground rail, trams. Freight and logistics—bulk material transport. Cranes, fixed track lifting equipment, for short haul and high load transport. rail application ...

What is a flat bar rail?

  What is a flat bar rail? 1. What’s a flat bar rail? A flat bar rail is a steel bar, which has a rectangular cross-section profile. There are two types of flat bar rail,  square bar rail , and flat steel rail. Their difference lies in their profile. One is square, while the other is a rectangle. 2. Application Flat bar is widely used in curtain walls, engineering machinery, shipbuilding, elevator parts,  overhead crane rails ,  weight stack , and the automobile industry. 3. Size The main sizes of flat bar rail include 40x30mm, 40X60mm, 80x60mm, 50x50mm, 100x60mm. The two numbers represent the height and length of the profile of the rails. And the unit of measurement is mm. And the total length of the whole rail is normally 5.8m. 4. Materials and standard Flat bar rails materials have different standards, like A572, GR 50, ST52-3, S355JR, and Q345B. For example, ASTM A572 steel is a common high strength, low alloy (HSLA) structural steel used in the United ...
