Types and uses of track bolts

 

There are many types of track bolts, one of which is the fish bolt, also known as the rail joint screw. Fish bolts are mainly used to connect rails and rail joints, and are often used in track laying in metallurgy, coking, steel and other industries.

 

Material and specifications of track bolts

 

Fish bolts have many types according to size, model and material, which can meet various railway operation requirements. The choice of its material and specification depends on the specific railway operation environment and requirements.

 

The role of track bolts in the railway system

 

Track bolts are used in conjunction with track plates or sleeper fasteners through nuts to form an integral structure to reduce the possibility of track deviation and deformation. During railway operation, the track will be affected by many factors such as train load vibration, climate change, soil settlement, etc. Therefore, the track bolts need to have sufficient vibration resistance and corrosion resistance to ensure the structural integrity of the track and the smooth and safe operation of the train.
