The E 2055 rail clip is specifically designed to provide effective and reliable fastening for various types of rail sections. It is commonly used in heavy-haul railway applications, where the track undergoes significant loads and stresses. The clip is manufactured using high-quality materials, such as spring steel, which offer excellent strength and durability.
What is the diameter of the E2055 rail clip?
The E2055 rail clip typically has a bar diameter of 20mm, though some sources mention 16mm for different variations, with the 20mm being standard for many E-type clips, providing strong clamping force for railway fastening systems.
Key Details:
- Standard Diameter: 20mm (Ø20)
- Material: Often made from high-strength spring steel like 60Si2MnA.
- Application: Used in elastic fastening systems for railways and trams.
- Weight: Around 0.80 kg per piece.
| Item | Diameter | Material | Weight | HRC Under pressure | Fatigue test |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| E2055 | ø20 | 60Si2MnA, 60Si2Cr, 55Si2Mn, 38Si7 | 0.80 kg | 44-48 | ≥950kg 5000000 times without breaking |
Features of E 2055 rail clip
The E2055 rail clip is a durable, spring-steel elastic clip providing constant clamping force for track stability, featuring quick installation, high fatigue resistance (millions of cycles), and corrosion protection (like Dacromet) for heavy-haul and general railway use, ensuring rail integrity against dynamic forces and vibrations, making it a reliable "fit-and-forget" fastener.
Key Features:
- Elasticity & Clamping Force: Made from spring steel (like 60Si2MnA), it provides continuous, self-tensioning pressure, resisting rail creep and lateral movement.
- Material & Durability: Forged from high-quality spring steel, hardened (HRC 42-47), offering strength, toughness, and fatigue life over 3 million cycles.
- Vibration & Impact Absorption: Designed to withstand significant dynamic forces and vibrations from passing trains, reducing wear and tear.
- Quick Installation: Simple to install by driving parallel to the rail, compatible with mechanized equipment.
- Corrosion Resistance: Surface treatments like Dacromet offer over 1000 hours of salt spray resistance, suitable for harsh environments.
- Versatile Application: Used globally in heavy-haul, metro, high-speed, and conventional tracks, on wood or concrete sleepers.
- System Component: Part of the Pandrol e-Clip system, working with shoulders, pads, and insulators for complete fastening.
- Low Maintenance: A "fit-and-forget" design requiring minimal adjustment after installation.
