A rail pad, also called rail rubber plate, is designed between the rail tie plate and foot of the rail, made by an elastic polyurethane mat, which is interposed between steel rails and tie sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting. Its defined stiffness is used to increase the elasticity of the superstructure of the ballast and reduce shock and vibration in the rail system.
It's always fastened within a fastening system by screw spikes or rail bolts into the sleeper ties. The reason why rail pad made up of rubber or plastic is to dampen the shocks or vibration of a passing train.
The thickness of the railway rubber pad can vary depending on the intended application and the type of track system being used. Typically, railway rubber pads range in thickness from 10mm to 60mm.
The thickness of the railway rubber pad can have a significant impact on railway operation. A thicker pad provides more cushioning and insulation, reducing the impact of vibrations and noise. However, a thicker pad can also increase the height of the railway track.
