Alloy Steel SKL Clips

Alloy Steel SKL 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.

Rail skl Clip Fastening System

Railroad Railway Steel Rails SKL Clips

Railway SKL Clips are omega-shaped elastic fasteners manufactured from high-grade spring steel, designed for screw-down fixation through angled guide plates. These clips develop consistent clamping force when deflected during installation, functioning as the tensioning element within complete rail fastening assemblies. Their distinctive looped geometry enables controlled deflection while maintaining gauge retention and longitudinal restraint across diverse track categories.

Elastic Rail Clamp

Installation & Maintenance Perspective:

  • Works with angled guide plates for lateral rail positioning
  • Compatible with Vossloh-style tensioning assemblies
  • Integrates with insulating elements for track circuits
  • Functions with removable dowel inserts for sleeper repair
  • Pre-assembles on sleepers for rapid installation

 

 

Maintenance & Operational Perspective

  • Central loop prevents overloading and plastic deformation
  • Maintains clamping force after millions of load cycles
  • Accommodates rail lift-off up to 3mm without permanent set
  • Second vibration mode resonance above 500Hz range
  • Elastic behavior absorbs wheel-rail impact forces
