What are the unique advantages of Rubber Rail Pads compared to EVA Rail Pads?
Rubber rail pads have unique advantages over EVA pads in durability and longevity, offering superior resistance to aging, wear, and deformation, which results in a longer service life and lower maintenance costs. They also provide higher performance in vibration damping and noise reduction, especially for heavy loads, with some rubber pads reducing dynamic forces by up to 65%.
Durability and Longevity
- Longer service life: Rubber pads are more resistant to aging, wear, and frequent shrinkage and deformation, leading to a longer service life.
- Lower maintenance costs: A longer service life and lower replacement frequency reduce overall track maintenance and replacement costs.
- High strength: Rubber pads are often designed with high strength and high-tech production methods to withstand harsh railway conditions.
| Rubber Rail Pad | ||
| Technical Parameter | Unit | Value |
| Stiffness | KN | 90-130 |
| Hardness Shore A | ℃ | 72-80 degree |
| Electronic Resistance | Ω | ≥ 106 |
| Tensile Strength before Aging | Mpa | ≥12.5 |
| Elongation before Aging | % | ≥250 |
Vibration and Noise Reduction
- Superior damping: High-quality rubber pads can achieve higher damping ratios, significantly reducing vibration amplitudes and providing better insulation against noise and shock from passing trains.
- Better for heavy loads: The enhanced properties of rubber make it better suited for heavy load railway applications where vibration and impact are more significant.
- Improved passenger comfort and environmental impact: By effectively reducing noise and vibration, rubber pads create a quieter environment for passengers and nearby communities.
Other Advantages
- Good insulation: Rubber provides good electrical insulation, which is a key safety feature in railway systems.
- Easy installation: Despite their high performance, rubber pads are generally easy to install and can accommodate minor installation deviations.
