The E-type rail clip is a core element of the E-type fastening system, working in coordination with components such as insulated gauge blocks, rubber pads, and pre-embedded iron seats to form a complete rail fixation system. This component performs the dual functions of locking and positioning while assisting with insulation. By cooperating with insulating parts, it prevents leakage of track circuit current, ensuring the normal operation of the signaling system. It is suitable for rail transit lines with explicit insulation requirements.
The Pandrol E2055 rail clip is a specific type of elastic fastening component used in railway tracks to secure steel rails to the sleepers (ties). It is part of the extensive and globally recognized E-type rail fastening system pioneered by Pandrol.

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.
