What Is SS6 Screw Spike

Aug 19, 2025 Leave a message

Rail spikes are primarily categorized into dog spikes and screw spikes, with screw spikes including types such as Ss series Sleeper Screws, Square head screw spikes, Hexagon screw spikes, and Double-head screw spikes.

 

The Ss6 screw spike belongs to the Ss series Sleeper Screw category, primarily used for fixed connections in railway tracks. Compared to traditional spikes, its helical design delivers enhanced stability during track fixation. Installed by rotating into pre-drilled holes, the threads mechanically interlock with timber or concrete, creating a robust connection.

The "Ss6" designation indicates specific dimensional standards, including diameter, length, and thread pitch. This standardized design ensures interchangeability across production batches, facilitating replacement during track maintenance. Beyond standardized products, GNEE RAIL offers customized solutions through in-house manufacturing capabilities, tailoring rail spikes to your specifications.

In practical applications, screw spikes endure substantial vibration and impact forces from passing trains, necessitating stringent material and manufacturing controls. GNEE RAIL manufactures rail spikes using materials like Q235, 35 steel, 45steel, 40Mn2, and 20 Mn Si. Our technical team continuously develops new materials and surface treatment technologies to enhance spike strength, corrosion resistance, and service life in harsh environments.
