While the rail fishplate may be a small accessory on the entire turnout, it is also a vital component of railway turnouts, plaing an important role in the railway track system. Rail fishplates are classified into different types based on various models and materials. therefore, we should choose the suitable type according to different application environments and specific needs.

Rail fish plate structure

The fishplate structure features a central threaded hole, with upper and lower working surfaces on both sides along the horizontal axis of the threaded hole that come into contact with the lower part of the railhead and the upper part of the rail base, respectively. The rear part of the upper working surface extends upwards to form a transitional section higher than the rail surface. Along the length of the fishplate, a bridge arch shape is formed with higher, middle, and lower ends. The bridge-shaped fishplate structure is simple, reducing the impact on the rail joint by the wheels, enhancing the continuity of longitudinal deformation at the joint, and improving the comfort of train travel. To ensure the overall safety of railway turnouts, it is composed of safety components in various parts. Despite being a small accessory, the fishplate plays a crucial role in railway turnouts. For the normal operation of railway turnouts, it is necessary to inspect and maintain the fishplate.
