What is the diameter of a rail elastic clip?
The diameter of a rail elastic clip typically ranges from 13 mm to 23 mm, with common sizes including 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, and 20 mm. The specific diameter depends on the clip type and its application, which is determined by the size of the rail and the required toe load.
- General range: The diameter of most rail elastic clips is between 13 mm and 23 mm.
- Common sizes: Several standard sizes are widely used, such as 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, and 20 mm.
- Application: The specific diameter chosen depends on the requirements of the rail fastening system, including the size of the rail and the desired toe load (the force that holds the rail in place). For example, a clip with an 18 mm diameter might have a toe load between 800 and 1000 kgf.

Process procedures of rail clips
The complete process procedures of rail clips include:
- Raw material purchasing
- Shearing
- Heating to forging temperature
- Forming
- Hardening
- Tempering
- Surface treatment
- Inspection-Packing
The spring steel bar should first be sheared as per length required. By convention, the sheared rods are heated to the 950 ℃ to 1000 ℃, and then the heated bars are transferred to power press for forging. Three sets of dies and fixtures are kept as per drawing before hammering. The forged rail clips are conveyed to quenching tank. After checking dimensional accuracy and quench hardness, rail clips would be sent to the next procedure for tempering to achieve appropriate toughness in the spring. The final product will be packed after serious inspection.
