The E 2055 rail clip is designed to withstand the dynamic forces and vibrations experienced by railway tracks during train operations. Its robust construction helps to reduce track maintenance requirements, minimize rail movement and noise, and enhance overall track stability and safety.
What is the weight of the E2055 railway clip?
The weight of an E2055 railway clip is typically around 0.80 kg (kilograms), though slight variations exist (like 0.78kg or 0.767kg) depending on the specific manufacturer and material, with most being made from spring steel like 60Si2MnA and designed for a 20mm diameter rail.
Key Details:
- Standard Weight: 0.80 kg/pc is a common figure.
- Material: Often 60Si2MnA spring steel.
- Diameter: Designed for Ø20mm rails.
| 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 |
Production Processes of E2055 Elastic Rail Clips:
Based on the process production, elastic rail clip manufacture process include following steps: raw material- shearing- heating- forming- hardening- tempering- inspection- packing.
Rail clip processing procedures includes:
- Raw material purchasing
- Shearing
- Heating to forging temperature
- Forming
- Hardening
- Tempering
- Surface treatment
- Inspection-Packing
To produce rail clips usually use spring steel bar as the raw materials, before heating, raw materials must be sheared according to the length required. Then they are heated to 950℃ to 1000℃, next works transfer the heated bar to power press for forging, in accordance with drawing three sets of dies and fixtures are kept before hammering. The following procedure is to convey the forged rail clips to quenching tank. Then check the dimensional accuracy and quench hardness of the rail clips. The next procedure is tempering to achieve appropriate toughness in the spring. And the final step is to pack the rail clips after serious inspection.
Raw Material for Elastic Rail Clip
Elastic rail clips are made of high quality spring steel bar.These steels are generally low-alloy Manganese, medium-carbon steel or high-carbon steel with a very high yield strength. Spring steel has excellent comprehensive performance like mechanical properties, performance by the bullet-proof, fatigue, hardenability, physical and chemical properties. The raw materials of elastic railroad clip mostly include 55 Si7, 60 Si7, 65 Si7, 55 Si Cr7, 60Si2MnA, 60Si2CrA, 55Si2Mn, and 38Si7 grade of spring steel.
