Railway Anchor - Technical Specification & Identification
| Parameter | Description & Details |
|---|---|
| Product Name | Railway Anchor (or Rail Anchor) |
| Common Names | Anti-Creeper, Check Anchor |
| Primary Function | To prevent the longitudinal movement (creep) of continuous welded rail (CWR) or jointed rail by gripping the rail base and resisting forces from passing trains. |
| Application | Fitted tightly against the sleeper/ tie shoulder on the base of the rail. Used on both concrete and wooden sleepers. |
| Standard Material | High-Carbon Manganese Steel (e.g., 60# or 70# carbon steel) or Ductile Iron for high strength and wear resistance. |
| Manufacturing Process | Drop Forging (most common for steel anchors) or Casting (for iron anchors). |
| Surface Treatment | Black (uncoated) or Painted. Some may be galvanized for extreme environments. |
Typical Application Areas
- Approaches to Bridges & Crossings: Where track resistance changes.
- Grade Sections: On steep gradients where train braking/acceleration forces are high.
- Curves: To help maintain gauge and alignment.
- Terminating Points of CWR: To "anchor" the end of a long section of welded rail.
