Rail anchors are always used in steel rails such as 50kg, 85kg, UIC54, UIC60, 90/91lb, 115RE, 136RE, just to name a few. GNEE RAIL can supplies rail anchors that fit various rail section dimensions. The products are manufactured based on high standards and have passed the ISO9001 certificate.We can produce T or V-shaped rail anchors as well as other types according to clients' requirements, by forging or casting.
The principal role of a railroad anchor is to prevent the railroad track from "creeping", which means the gradual longitudinal displacement resulting from stress imbalance, temperature change, etc. The rail anchors not only clamp on the rails but also against the sleeper so that it can provide sufficient friction and resistance to keep the track from sliding forward when trains pass by.
Application Rules of Rail Anchors
- Rail anchors should be on the gage side of the rail base against the same tie face on opposite rails.
- Rail anchors have to hold the rail base tightly and firmly and have full bearing against rail tie face.
- A new rail anchor and a rail tie will be needed when the bearing of rail anchor against the tie has been disturbed.
- Anchors shall not be moved by driving them along the rail.
- The rail ties should be kept straightened when the anchors are applied.
