Rail Accessories Fish Plate

Rail Accessories Fish Plate

fishplate, splice bar or joint bar is a metal bar that is bolted to the ends of two rails to join them together in a track. The top and bottom edges are tapered inwards so the device wedges itself between the top and bottom of the rail when it is bolted into place. In rail transport modelling, a fishplate is often a small copper or nickel silver plate that slips onto both rails to provide the functions of maintaining alignment and electrical continuity.

Function: A metal bar or plate bolted to the sides of two abutting rail ends to maintain alignment and transmit forces across the joint.

Feature Category Specification & Description
General Function To connect two abutting rail ends, maintain alignment (vertical and horizontal), and transmit bending moments and shear forces across the joint.
Common Names Joint Bar, Splice Bar, Angle Bar
Key Principle Uses the strength of the fish plate and the clamping force of bolts to create a semi-rigid connection between rail ends.
Primary Material Rolled or Forged Steel. Typically medium-carbon steel (e.g., 45Mn, 50# steel, ISO 5000/6000 series). Often heat-treated for wear resistance.
Common Types • Standard Fish Plate: For general use on straight tracks and gentle curves.
