Rail Clip For SKL Railway Fastening System

Rail Clip For SKL Railway Fastening System

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.

Detailed Technical Parameters of SKL Clip

Parameter Value / Description Remarks
Toe Load (Clamping Force) 20.5 - 22.5 kN The force exerted by the clip toes on the rail foot. Critical for secure fastening.
Test Load (Permanent) ≥ 30 kN The load the clip must withstand without permanent deformation.
Deflection at Test Load ~ 11.5 mm The vertical displacement under the test load.
Electrical Resistance < 5 Ω (Per fastening assembly) Ensures the rail circuit is continuous for signaling.
Corrosion Protection ≥ 500 hours Neutral Salt Spray Test For phosphated clips. Coated clips offer higher resistance.
Fatigue Performance Passes 5 million cycles at ±8 kN dynamic load Demonstrates long-term durability under traffic.
Installation Torque 150 - 200 N·m Torque for the securing nut (if applicable to the assembly).
Tensioning Tool Hydraulic Tensioner or Manual Torque Wrench Specialized tools are required for correct installation.
Weight (per clip) Approx. 2.5 - 3.0 kg Varies slightly by manufacturer and specific design.
Operating Temperature -40°C to +80°C Suitable for most climatic conditions.
