Railway Rail Clamp

Railway Rail Clamp

Railway track clamps, also known as rail fasteners, are essential components used to secure rails to sleepers. They maintain the correct rail position and gauge, withstand train loads, and transmit these loads to the sleepers and trackbed. Track clamps are typically made of elastic and metal materials to provide sufficient clamping force and resilience.
