Rail fastening system is composed of main parts of the rail structure for connecting steel rails with sleepers, also known as rail fastening parts. Rail fastening system functions by fixing the rail on the sleeper, maintain the gauge and prevent the rail from moving longitudinally and laterally relative to sleeper. And it provides enough elastics to make up for deficency of conceret sleeper. So rail fastening system must be satisfied with reqiurments of strength, durability and certain elasticity. It keeps reliable connection of steel rail and sleeper.
The E-type elastic clip is a key railway fastening component designed to securely fasten rails to sleepers or base plates. Made from high-strength spring steels such as 55Si2Mn or 38Si7, it offers excellent elasticity, fatigue resistance, and corrosion protection. This clip is widely used in high-speed railways, heavy-haul lines, metro systems, and mining tracks.
