Railway Track Fastening Method To Ensure Train Running Safety

1. Bolt fastening method

The bolt fastening method is a common method for railway track fastening. Its basic principle is to connect the rails to the sleepers through bolts. In the specific operation, first insert the bolts into the pre-drilled holes in the rails, gaskets and sleepers, and then tighten the nuts to achieve the purpose of fastening. The following points should be noted when fastening bolts:

(1). The number and arrangement of bolts must meet the requirements of the specifications;

(2). The tension of the bolts must reach the specified value and must not be excessive or too loose;

(3). The bolts should be checked regularly and replaced in time if problems are found.

2. Steel nail fastening method

The steel nail fastening method is a method of fixing the rails to the sleepers with steel nails at the joints of the track. It is characterized by easy operation, but not as stable as the bolt fastening method. The following points should be noted when tightening steel nails:

(1). The number and arrangement of steel nails must meet the requirements of the specifications;

(2). The material of steel nails should meet the standard requirements and should not be excessive or too loose;

(3). Steel nails should be checked regularly and replaced in time if problems are found.

3. Elastic strip clamping method

The elastic strip clamping method is a method of tightening rails using elastic strips. The principle is to first install the elastic strip in the groove at the bottom of the rail and then fix it with a fixed clamp. The following points should be noted when tightening elastic strips:

(1). The number and arrangement of elastic strips must meet the requirements of the specifications;

(2). The clamps should be checked regularly and replaced in time if problems are found;

(3). The elastic strips should be checked regularly and replaced in time if problems are found.

In summary, railway track tightening is an important part of ensuring the safety of train driving. During the tightening process, attention should be paid to the tightening methods and specification requirements. At the same time, regular inspections and maintenance should be carried out during the use of the track to ensure the safety and reliability of the track.
