Which track types is the e2055 rail clip suitable for?

 

The E2055 rail clip is a versatile elastic fastening system suitable for various track types, including heavy-haul lines, subways, tunnels, and even high-speed rail, used with both concrete and steel sleepers, securing common rail profiles like UIC54/60, P43/P50, 115RE, and 136RE for stable, low-maintenance fastening under heavy loads and vibrations.

 

Key Applications & Features:

 

  • Heavy Haul: Excellent for high-traffic lines with significant axle loads (≥ 30-40 tons).

 

  • Urban Transit: Widely used in subways and tunnels for its reliability.

  • High-Speed Rail: Offers stable track geometry and vibration damping needed for high speeds.

 

  • Crane Rails: Can also be adapted for crane rail fastening.

 

Suitable for:

 

  • Rail Sections: UIC54, UIC60, P43, P50, R65, 115RE, 136RE.

 

  • Sleeper Types: Concrete, steel sleepers, and baseplates.

 

Function and features of E2055 Rail Clip

 

1.Secures rails: As a spring clip, the E2055 is designed to exert continuous, self-tensioning clamping pressure on the base of the rail, holding it firmly in place.

 

2.Maintains track stability: It plays a crucial role in preventing the lateral and longitudinal movement of rails, which is vital for the integrity and stability of continuously welded track.

 

3.Absorbs stress: The clip's robust spring steel construction allows it to withstand and absorb the significant dynamic forces and vibrations that occur during train operations.

4.Durable and low-maintenance: It is designed for a long service life with minimal need for manual adjustments or torque checking, offering a "fit-and-forget" solution.

 

5.Versatile applications: While known for its use in heavy-haul lines that experience intense loads, the E-clip system is adaptable for a wide range of railway applications, including metro, high-speed, and conventional tracks.

 

6.Easy installation: The E2055 clip is installed by being driven parallel to the rail, a process that can be done manually with standard tools or with mechanized equipment.
