What is the weight of an E Type Rail Elastic Clip?

The weight of E-type rail elastic clips varies significantly depending on the specific model and specifications, primarily determined by the clip's diameter design and structural dimensions.

Taking the common E1809 type clip as an example, its single piece weight is approximately 0.61 kg, manufactured from 20mm diameter spring steel. In contrast, the E2055 type clip, commonly used in heavy-haul railways, weighs 0.80 kg per piece. This increased mass mainly stems from thicker material cross-sections and reinforced structural design, enabling it to withstand higher dynamic loads. For smaller diameter clips like the E1609 type, the weight is relatively lighter at about 0.43 kg, suitable for scenarios with relatively lower load requirements.

The weight differences among various clip models directly reflect their performance characteristics and applicable scenarios. Heavier clips typically possess larger material section modulus, providing stronger clamping force and fatigue resistance, but correspondingly require more robust supporting components. Lighter clips, while meeting basic performance requirements, offer more economical solutions and convenient installation experiences.
