Type E Clip Models & Specifications

The model designation, such as E20, primarily refers to the nominal wire diameter of the clip. Different diameters provide different levels of clamping force and fatigue resistance for various applications.

Model Wire Diameter (mm) Applicable Rail Type Key Characteristics & Application
E20 20 60 kg/m, 75 kg/m Heavy-Duty. Provides the highest clamping force. Used for heavy-haul lines, sharp curves, and high-speed sections requiring extra security.
E18 18 60 kg/m Standard Duty. The most common type used on mainlines for both passenger and freight traffic in China.
E16 16 50 kg/m Medium Duty. Used for 50 kg/m rail sections, often on secondary lines or with older sleeper types.
E14 14 50 kg/m Light Duty. Provides lower clamping force. Used for sidings, station tracks, and light-traffic areas.
