Insulated Rail E Clips

Insulated Rail E Clips

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.

Railway E Clips - Product Information Sheet

Product Name: Railway Elastic Rail Clip (Commonly known as an "E-Clip" or "E-Type Clip")
Primary Function: To securely fasten the rail to the baseplate/sleeper, maintaining gauge and providing essential longitudinal and lateral restraint while allowing for dynamic movement and vibration damping.

Feature Description & Specifications
Primary Material High-carbon spring steel (e.g., 60Si2Mn, 60CrMoA, EN10089) or SUP9A.
Material Standard ASTM A689, EN 10089, BS 130, or relevant national railway standards.
Key Function - Clamping Force: Exerts a consistent downward force on the rail foot.
- Electrical Insulation: When used with an insulated shoulder, it prevents track circuit shorting.
- Vibration Absorption: Its elastic nature dampens vibrations and noise.
- Gauge Retention: Helps maintain the correct distance between the two rails.
Key Advantages - Elasticity: Maintains clamping force under dynamic loads and track movement.
- High Fatigue Life: Designed for millions of load cycles.
- Easy Installation & Removal: Can be installed/removed with a manual or hydraulic tool without dismantling other components.
- Proven Reliability: The most widely used fastening clip type globally.
Common Sizes (Rail Weight) - UIC 54 / 54E1 Rail
- UIC 60 / 60E1 Rail (Most Common)
- 115RE / 136RE (North America)
- AS 60 / 60kg (Australia)
Specific clip dimensions vary by manufacturer and rail profile.

Insulated Rail E Clips

Advantages

  • High Elasticity: Maintains constant pressure under dynamic loads.
  • Easy Maintenance: Can be replaced individually without dismantling the entire fastening assembly.
  • Vibration Damping: Absorbs energy, reducing noise and wear on track components.
  • Electrical Insulation: When used with nylon/composite shoulders, it isolates the rail for signaling circuits.
