Fittings Track E Clip

Fittings Track E Clip

Railway Clip is used to fasten the rails to the underlying base plate together with the concrete sleeper. A variety of different types of heavy-duty clips are used to fasten the rails to the underlying baseplate or Sleeper, one common being the E Clip, which is shaped like a stubby paperclip. Another one is the SKL Tension Clamp, which is also the most widely used type all over the world. Others like KPO Clamp and Nabla Clip, also used in different situations.

Rail E Clip Fastening System

Rail Track E Clips

 

The Railway E-Clip is a high-tensile spring steel fastener designed for concrete sleeper tracks. Its asymmetrical geometry delivers a precise, consistent toe load to secure the rail against vertical lift and lateral creep. Engineered for elastic performance, it absorbs dynamic impact from passing trains while maintaining constant clamping force. This maintenance-free component is essential for high-speed and heavy-haul networks, ensuring long-term track stability and gauge retention.

Corrosion Protection Hot-Dip Galvanized >1000h salt spray test
Compatible Rail 50kg/m, 60kg/m, UIC60 Universal application
Installation Tool Hydraulic Applicator Error-proof installation
Elastic Rail Clamp

Installation & Maintenance Perspective:

  • The asymmetric shape creates a calculated toe load for optimal rail clamping.
  • Elastic deflection absorbs dynamic wheel loads without permanent plastic deformation.
  • It maintains consistent force under high-frequency vibration and thermal expansion.
  • The clip's spring steel composition ensures excellent fatigue life and resilience.
  • Its geometry allows for controlled flexing while preventing metal fatigue failure.

 

Maintenance & Operational Perspective

  • Installation requires a specialized hydraulic applicator for consistent clamping force.
  • Pre-assembly on sleepers reduces on-site labor and accelerates track laying.
  • The clip is lightweight and stackable, optimizing storage and transport efficiency.
  • Removal uses the same tool, simplifying maintenance and rail replacement tasks.
  • No post-installation tightening is needed, eliminating routine maintenance checks.
