Rail Anchor For Railroad Fastening System

Rail anchors or called rail anticreepers are spring steel clips that attach to the underside of rail tie plates and bear against the sides of rail sleepers. The function of rail anchors is to prevent longitudinal movement of the steel rails, either from changes in temperature or through vibration.

Rail Anchor for Railroad Fastening System

Rail Anchor

Function: A device installed on the base of the rail to prevent longitudinal movement (rail creep) caused by thermal expansion/contraction and train braking/acceleration forces.

Feature Category Specification & Description
General Function To resist longitudinal rail movement ("rail creep") by gripping the base of the rail and bearing against the sleeper/ tie shoulder.
Key Principle Works by "jamming" itself between the rail foot and the sleeper shoulder, creating friction and mechanical resistance to movement.
Primary Material Forged or Cast Steel. Typically medium-carbon steel (e.g., AISI 1045, 1050) for strength and wear resistance. May be heat-treated.
Common Types • Spring Type (e.g., Pandrol "Skid-Rail" Anchor): Most common modern type. Elastic "spring-steel" design.
• Dog-Type/Clip-On Anchor: Hammered on, uses a mechanical grip.
• Bolt-On Anchor: Used in specialized applications (e.g., guard rails).
