Rail clips produce buckling force on the track through the bending and distortion of the rail clips, which effectively guarantees the reliable connection between the rails for a long time, maintains the integrity of the track as much as possible, prevents the rail from moving in the vertical and horizontal directions relative to the sleeper, and ensures the rail The distance is normal to ensure the safety of rail vehicles. In addition, because the train wheels and the rails are in rigid contact, vibration is unavoidable. The special elastic structure of rail clips also allows them to absorb the impact energy generated when vehicles pass by, and achieve the effect of shock absorption. Rail clips work under repeated alternating stresses. They bear various effects such as bending, torsion, fatigue and corrosion. When vehicles pass, they also bear extremely high instantaneous impact loads, so the performance requirements of rail clips are very strict.
SKL and E type elastic rail clips are essential fastening components in railway track systems, primarily used to securely attach rails to concrete sleepers or base plates while providing continuous and stable elastic clamping force.
