Railway Wheel Stopper

Railway wheel stopper introduction

 

The railway wheel stopper, also known as the rail train stopper, is designed for all railway terminal lines. It functions as a safety device to prevent vehicles from crossing the end of the railway track. It is a crucial component of railway traffic, designed to ensure the secure stopping of trains. GNEE rail is a professional manufacturer of railway products, including the railway wheel stopper, and everything you need for the railway constuction and maintenance.

Structure and working principle of railroad wheel stopper

 

● Buffer Rubber Plate

● The impact force from the vehicle is transmitted to the braking rail through the buffer rubber plate and the left and right support arms.

● The braking rail, spring seat, and the base rail generate frictional resistance against the basic rail to prevent the vehicle from sliding.

● An elastic pressurizing device is composed of plate springs, spring seats, wedges, and supports. It is installed in the braking rail of the main frame and the booster braking rail. Its role is to create pressure in the static state of the wheel stopper, increasing the frictional resistance during braking. It continues to exert braking force dynamically until the vehicle comes to a stop.

● The support arm plate is made as a whole, composed of supports, front and rear crossbeams, upper and lower diagonal beams, tightly connected to form the main frame. The structure is rational and robust, capable of withstanding the impact of vehicles at relatively high speeds.

● The support arm plate, with a lower hoof-shaped block, is directly inserted into the braking rail, featuring a simple structure that allows for easy installation, maintenance, and resetting.
