Fittings Track SKL Clip

Fittings Track 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 Rail Clip | Glossary | Tension Clamp

The Railway SKL Clip is a symmetric V-shaped elastic fastener designed for demanding rail applications. Made from high-grade alloy spring steel, its unique central pivot design delivers perfectly balanced clamping force on both sides of the rail foot. This geometry eliminates torsional stress and ensures consistent performance under extreme loads. Ideal for high-speed lines and heavy-haul corridors, the SKL clip provides exceptional resistance to vibration loosening while maintaining precise track geometry over decades of service.

Elastic Rail Clamp

Installation & Maintenance Perspective:

  • Symmetric V-shape applies equal pressure to both rail foot edges.
  • Central pivot point eliminates rotational moment during dynamic loading.
  • Balanced force prevents asymmetric wear on rail head and shoulder.
  • Stress distribution extends fatigue life beyond three million cycles.
  • Uniform clamping maintains gauge accuracy on high-speed curves

 

Maintenance & Operational Perspective

  • Dedicated hydraulic tool ensures precise toe load application every time.
  • Calibrated installation eliminates human error in force adjustment.
  • Visual indicator confirms correct clip seating after installation.
  • No torque measurement tools are required for quality verification.
  • Consistent installation across track length ensures uniform performance.
