A rail fish plate is a steel connector installed at the rail joint to mechanically link two rail ends, restoring continuity in the track structure and enabling safe load transfer under traffic. GNEE RAIL supplies fish plates for GB 8–60 kg/m rails, UIC50/UIC54/UIC60, DIN536 A55–A120 crane rails, QU70/80/100/120, JIS rail sections, AS1085 rails, BS11 profiles, and AREMA/ASCE standards, with complete joint hardware packages and technical guidance.

What is an R65 rail joint?
R65 rail fishplates are heavy-duty, high-strength steel joint bars designed to connect Russian standard R65/P65 railway tracks. Typically made of high-quality carbon or alloy steel, they provide structural stability, maintain gauge, and withstand high-speed, heavy-haul impacts.
Key Specifications drawings & Details:
- Application: Primarily used in Russian, CIS, and international heavy-duty railways, mining, and industrial tracks.
- Dimensions & Weight: Generally 1000mm to 1520mm in length, weighing approximately 4kg to 6kg+ per unit depending on design (e.g., standard, insulated, or special).
- Holes: Usually configured with 4 or 6 bolt holes for secure attachment.
- Material: Often constructed from high-strength steel (e.g., Q235, 55# steel, or quenched K54 steel) for superior wear resistance.
Mechanical Characteristics:
– Yield strength, N/mm2 (kgf/mm2) - not less than 844 (86.0)
– Tensile strength, N/mm2 (kgf/mm2) - not less than 530 (54.0)
– Elongation after fracture, % - not less than 10.0
– Contraction after fracture, % - not less than 30.0
– Hardness range, HBW - from 235 to 388

- Technical Standards: Often compliant with Russian (GOST) standards.
Main Functions:
- Load Transfer: Transfers heavy loads from wheel impacts between rail ends.
- Alignment: Maintains vertical and horizontal alignment to ensure smooth, safe, and continuous operation.
- Durability: Designed to resist impact and prevent deflection at the joint.
- These components are crucial for rail maintenance and are often manufactured for specific, rigorous heavy-haul, and high-speed applications.
