GNEE rail has summarized the following rules for applying rail anchors, let us see them together.
- Rail anchors should be placed on the gage side of the rail base to counteract the same tie face on opposite rails.
- Ensure that rail anchors hold the rail base firmly and tightly with full bearing against the rail tie face.
- If the bearing of the rail anchor against the tie has been disturbed, it's necessary to use a new rail anchor and rail tie.
- Avoid moving rail anchors by driving them along the rail.
- Keep rail ties straightened during the application of rail anchors.
Following these simple rules ensures effective and reliable use of rail anchors in railway applications.
