The Crucial Role Of Elastic Rail Clips in Rail Fastening System

Sep 04, 2025Leave a message

The rail fastening system is an important part of the railroad track structure composed of various rail fasteners (OTM materials). Its main function is to firmly fix the rails on the sleepers or track plates to ensure the stability of the rails.

 

Elastic rail clips are integral components within railway fastening systems. They play a vital role in ensuring the stability and reliability of railway tracks. Working in conjunction with base plates, railway spikes, and other fasteners, they form the robust foundation of railway systems.
