Application of Rail Clips
Railway spring clips are widely used in conventional railways, high-speed railways and urban rail transit to fix rails, provide elastic buffers and maintain track gauge stability. Conventional railway spring clips focus on load bearing (such as Type I and Type II), high-speed railway spring clips (such as WJ-7) require high smoothness and fatigue resistance, and subway spring clips (such as DTⅢ) focus on vibration reduction, noise reduction and corrosion resistance.
