The E 2055 rail clip is a type of fastening component used in the railway industry to secure rails to railroad ties or sleepers. Rail clips play a crucial role in maintaining the stability and integrity of the railway track system by preventing lateral movement of the rails.
What is the load-bearing capacity of the e2055 rail clip?
The E2055 rail clip offers robust load capacity, typically handling 20 kN to 30 kN (kilonewtons) in static loads, while withstanding significant dynamic forces, featuring high tensile strength (1000-1200 MPa) and fatigue resistance (200-300 kN), ensuring secure rail fastening under heavy train traffic. It passes tests like enduring loads of over 950kg for 5 million cycles without breaking, balancing strength with flexibility for railway applications.
Key Load-Bearing Characteristics:
- Static Load: 20 kN - 30 kN.
- Tensile Strength: 1000 MPa - 1200 MPa.
- Fatigue Strength: 200 kN - 300 kN (for cyclic loading).
- Pressure Test: ≥950kg (demonstrating endurance).
| 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 |
Why These Numbers Matter:
These figures show the clip's ability to resist bending, pulling, and repeated stress from passing trains, ensuring the rail stays firmly in place on sleepers (wood or concrete).

The advantages of E2055 Rail Clip
- Fastening Rails: Elastic rail clips are designed to fasten the rails firmly to the sleepers, preventing any movement that could lead to misalignment.
- Maintaining Rail Gauge: They help in maintaining the correct distance between the two rails, known as the rail gauge, which is essential for the safe passage of trains.
- Absorbing Vibrations: The clips absorb vibrations caused by passing trains, reducing wear and improving passenger comfort.
- Preventing Rail Movement: By providing a strong clamping force, elastic rail clips prevent horizontal and vertical movement of the rails.
