What is the E type rail clip?
An E-type rail clip (or e-Clip) is a common, high-strength spring steel fastener used in railway systems to securely clamp the steel rail to sleepers (ties), providing essential elastic fastening, precise alignment, and resistance to vibration and movement, ensuring track safety and durability. These clips, like the iconic Pandrol e-Clip, offer a cost-effective, easy-to-install solution for various track types, from heavy freight to high-speed lines.
What are the specifications for e-rail clips?
E rail clip provide positive and durable rail alignment under the harshest working conditions, which extend the life of railway track. Generally, e rail clips are available at the range from 18mm to 23mm diameter. Rail –e clip is usually made of spring steel. As an important type of elastic rail clips, E-rail clip has a lot of sizes, such as E1, E2, E3, E1609, E1809, E1817, E2001, E2006, E2009, E2055, E2056, etc.
