Railroad anchor is also called rail anchor, or railroad tie anchor. It is placed under the rail bottoms and clamp the rails with its curved design. Its side is pressed against the sleeper. The rail anchors are made in one piece from spring steel which can fasten the rails by providing friction, elasticity, and locking action.
Rail anchors are applied to the rail base directly and provide a large bearing surface against rail base and rail tie, preventing wear and cutting, and eventually to prolong the working life of the rail ties. According to specific rail weight and base width, anchors can be classified into two types: the Drive-on rail anchors and spring type rail anchor.
Rail anchors vary in shapes, such as Improved Fair, Unit V or Channeled, with processing way of rolling, forging or casting. The latter two types are usually produced by casting, due to its complicated bending.
