In the railway fastener system, railway pad play an extremely crucial role. Installed between the rail and the sleeper, base plates come in various types, such as iron base plates and rubber base plates.
Iron base plates provide solid support for the track. They effectively disperse the pressure transmitted from the rail, distributing it evenly onto the sleeper. This reduces the local stress on the sleeper, prevents damage caused by stress concentration, and thus ensures the stability of the track structure. Meanwhile, they enhance the connection strength between fasteners and sleepers, improving the overall stability of the track.
Rubber pad focus on buffering and shock absorption. The high-speed vibrations and impacts generated during train operation are transmitted through the rail, and rubber base plates can effectively absorb this energy, alleviate vibrations, enhance the smoothness and comfort of train travel, and reduce the risk of damage to the track and sleepers. Additionally, in scenarios with high noise control requirements such as subways, rubber base plates also play a significant noise reduction role. Moreover, they possess electrical insulation properties to ensure stable and accurate signal transmission.
In addition to rubber pads, GNEE RAIL can also provide railway pads made of EVA/HDPE/polyurethane and other materials. We can also customize the material and performance of the pads according to customer needs. If you have special customization requirements, please contact us.
