The primary purpose of railway spikes is to secure rails, ensuring track stability and operational safety. They achieve this by firmly connecting rails to sleepers, preventing movement or loosening of the rails during train operation. Railway spikes also help distribute the pressure generated by passing trains, reducing rail wear and deformation. Additionally, they provide a degree of vibration damping, minimizing the sensation of jolts and bumps during train travel.
GNEE RIAL can provide a variety of road spike types such as spiral spikes and dog head spikes. If you have special customization requirements, please contact us.
The screw spike is also known as rail screw. As one kind of Rail spike, it is a metal screw for fixing rail fasteners. Screw spike is usually made of NO.3 steel. Because its nail rod surface has thread, so it is called screw spike. The pull-out resistance is 0.5 ~ 1.0 times larger than that of common rail spike, but the thrust resistance is 50% less. Due to disassembly and assembly inconvenience, it is difficult to adjust the rail gauge, which is generally used on the railway turnout.
