What is the thickness of Rubber Rail Pads?
The thickness of rubber rail pads typically ranges from 4.5 mm to 25 mm, but can vary significantly based on the intended application, such as train speed and weight. Some specialized or height-adjustment pads can be thicker, extending up to 60 mm or more, while basic pads often fall within the 4.5 mm to 10 mm range.
| Application | Typical Thickness Range |
|---|---|
| Standard pads | 4.5 mm to 10 mm |
| Heavy-duty cargo lines | 12 mm to 20 mm |
| Fast trains | 8 mm to 12 mm |
| City/metro rails | 6 mm to 10 mm |
| Height adjustment pads | 1 mm to 20 mm or more, depending on the need |
A rail pad plays an important role in reducing shock and vibration, the detailed functions lie in the following:
- Distribute the load that the trains pressed on the rails with a larger elastic surface.
- Reduce the noise that trains hitting on the rails and improve the comfort of the passengers.
- The use of rail pad can decrease the abrasion of rails and prolong the service life of rail track.
- The elasticity of rail pad can decrease the vibration
