Description

Technical Parameters

Role and function:
Fixing rails:
The rail shoulder is used to fix the rails firmly to the sleepers by bolts, clamps or other means to prevent the rails from moving horizontally and vertically during the train operation.
Transferring loads:
The rail shoulder transfers the huge pressure and impact force generated by the train from the rail to the sleeper, and then from the sleeper to the roadbed.
Elastic buffering:
Some rail shoulder designs are elastic, which can absorb the vibration and impact generated by the train operation to a certain extent, improve ride comfort, and reduce damage to the track structure.
Guiding role:
The shape and position of the rail shoulder help guide the wheels to run along the correct track.
