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 function of the E2055 rail clip?
The E2055 rail clip, a type of elastic rail clip (ERC) or E-clip, functions to securely fasten railway tracks by clamping the base of the steel rail to the sleeper (tie), preventing rail movement (lateral/longitudinal), maintaining track stability, and absorbing vibrations, all crucial for safe train operation on wood or concrete sleepers, used widely in heavy-haul, metro, and high-speed lines.
- Secures Rails: Provides continuous, self-tensioning clamping force on the rail base to hold it firmly to the sleeper.
- Ensures Stability: Prevents rails from shifting, bending, or warping under heavy loads and dynamic forces from passing trains.
- Absorbs Stress: Its forged spring steel construction withstands and dampens vibrations and impacts, extending track life.
- Versatile Application: Works with various sleepers (wood, concrete) and in diverse railway environments (metro, conventional, high-speed).
- Part of a System: Works with rail pads, shoulders, and insulators as a complete fastening system for reliable alignment.
How e2055 rail tension clip Works?
- It's driven parallel to the rail, clamping onto the rail's base.
- The clip's elastic nature allows it to provide consistent tension, acting like a strong spring.
- Installation is quick, often done manually or mechanically, and is designed for a long service life.
