Railroad Railway Steel Rails SKL Clips

Railroad Railway Steel Rails 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

Essential Railway SKL Clips

 

The SKL (Spannkraftclip Lager) clip is a pre-assembled elastic rail fastening system designed for direct fixation of rails to concrete sleepers in ballastless track applications. Manufactured from high-grade spring steel with corrosion-resistant coatings, this all-in-one assembly integrates a tension clip, base plate, and insulation components to provide permanent, maintenance-free rail restraint. Characterized by its constant clamping force and consistent toe load performance, the system offers superior vibration damping, longitudinal rail restraint, and electrical insulation properties that exceed 100Ω·km track circuit requirements.

Application Scenarios

 

Primary installation on slab track systems for high-speed railways

Used in tunnel sections where maintenance access is restricted

Applications in seismic zones due to superior rail retention capability

Deployed on bridge decks with integrated vibration control

Implementation in station throats with complex track geometry

 

Maintenance & Operational Perspective

  • Transition zones between ballasted and ballastless tracks
  • Grade crossings with enhanced impact resistance
  • Depot and siding areas with occasional low-speed traffic
  • Elevated guideways with noise reduction requirements
  • Maintenance bypass tracks with temporary installation capability
