Customized SKL Clip

Customized SKL 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 SKL clip Fastening System

SKL Clip For Railway Fastener

Railway SKL Clips are omega-shaped tension fasteners forged from high-grade spring steel, designed to secure rails to sleepers through screw-down fixation. Their distinctive looped geometry provides precise clamping force while allowing controlled deflection under load. These clips integrate with angled guide plates to form complete fastening assemblies, ensuring gauge retention and longitudinal restraint across diverse track categories from heavy haul to high-speed operations .

Elastic Rail Clamp

Installation & Maintenance Perspective:

  • Works with angled guide plates for lateral rail positioning
  • Compatible with removable dowel inserts for damaged sleeper repair
  • Functions across plastic, wood, and concrete sleeper types
  • Accommodates rail pad stiffness variations from 50-500kN/mm
  • Pre-assembles on sleepers for rapid on-site installation

 

 

Maintenance & Operational Perspective

  • Central loop prevents overloading and plastic deformation of arms
  • Maintains ≥7kN clamping force after dynamic loading
  • Exhibits dominant vibration modes at 500Hz and 560Hz ranges
  • Second-order mode resonance triggered by rail corrugation at 200-350km/h
  • Fatigue life exceeds 5 million cycles under standard conditions
