Railway fastening system - how much do you know?

A railroad fastener system is a set of railroad track parts designed for fixing rails and sleepers. The role of the fastener system is to maintain the rail gauge and prevent vertical and horizontal movement of the rail relative to the sleeper position. The fastener system usually consists of rail spacers, spikes, clips, rail anchors, or other fasteners. But many people are not clear about what the role of the railroad fastener system can play. What are the small parts included in the railway fastener system?

Do the following five aspects explain the role of the railway fastener system can play?

The role of railway fasteners.

1. firmly fix the rail in the rail seat.

2. limit the rotation of the rail around the outer edge of the rail foot.

3. Minimize the longitudinal movement of the rail through creep and thermal forces.

4. Assists in maintaining rail gauge.

5. Will not cause damage to the rail.


Features of railroad fasteners

1. Good anti-fracture performance

All-steel cold-pressed national standard railroad fasteners have advanced structure, and all steel plate cold forming, strength, and toughness exceed national and international standards, eliminating the possible accidents of fastener fracture and scaffold collapse.

2、Strong antirust performance

Galvanized anti-corrosion treatment can greatly improve the antirust performance so that the service life of the new fasteners exceeds that of the old fasteners, overcoming the problems of the old fasteners and eliminating hidden dangers. These can ensure and improve the overall mechanical performance and safety performance.

3. Fast and convenient

Structurally optimized railroad fasteners are lightweight, beautiful, and comfortable. They can reduce the labor intensity in the working process.

Types of rail fasteners

1. Rail fasteners

Rail fasteners are important rail fasteners, playing the role of fastening the rail on the railroad sleeper. The role of the rail clip is as follows.

Rail clamps produce clamping force and transfer it to the rail.

The rail clip maintains a reliable connection between the two rails.

The rail clip maintains the integrity of the rail as much as possible.

The rail clip absorbs the vibration generated by the locomotive.

There are various types of rail clamps, such as Type E, SKL, KPO, Nabla, etc. Generally, use the rail buckle system to name the included rail clips, such as the E-type rail buckle system, SKL rail buckle system, KPO rail fastening system, etc.


2. Pulling plate

The sleeper plate, also known as the bottom plate or base plate, is placed between the rail and the sleeper. Usually, it is fixed on the sleeper by a railroad spike or railroad bolt through the hole on the pad. The pad plate is used to disperse the load and keep the rail gauge.


3. Spike

Spikes and spiral spikes are the two typical types of railroad spikes. They are both used to fix the rail to the railroad sleeper. More importantly, railroad spikes help to maintain the gauge and keep the railroad safe together with other railroad fasteners.

Steelmaking Process (2)

8. Refining period: The process of steelmaking is carried out by slagging and other methods to remove some elements and compounds that are harmful to the quality of steel by chemical reaction into the gas phase or discharged into the slag to remove it from the molten steel. period. 9. Reduction period: In the ordinary power electric arc furnace steelmaking operation, the time from the completion of the slag slag to the tapping is usually called the reduction period. 10. Furnace refining: The steelmaking process of refining the molten steel in the steelmaking furnace (converter, electric furnace, etc.) to another vessel for refining, also called secondary metallurgy. The steelmaking process is therefore divided into two steps: primary refining and refining. 11. Steel liquid agitation: Stirring of molten steel through refining beyond the furnace. It homogenizes the molten steel composition and temperature and boosts metallurgical reactions. Most metallurgical reaction procedures a

What Are the Different Types of Steel Rails?

图片
Steel rails are an essential component of railway tracks, providing the necessary support for the movement of trains. These rails are manufactured from a variety of steel alloys and are designed to meet specific requirements of the railway track, such as durability, strength, and resistance to wear and tear. In this article, we will discuss the different  types of steel rails  used in railway tracks.   Carbon steel rails Carbon steel rails are the most common type of steel rails used in railway tracks. They are made from a combination of iron and carbon, with the latter content typically ranging from 0.7% to 1.5%. Carbon steel rails are affordable and can be easily manufactured in large quantities. However, they have a low resistance to wear and tear, which means that they need to be replaced frequently.   High-carbon steel rails High-carbon steel rails have a higher carbon content than standard carbon steel rails, typically ranging from 0.8% to 1.1%. This makes them harder and more re

Crane rail installation - Standards and procedures

图片
   Introduction to crane track installation With the rapid development of modern logistics, greater demands are being placed on the logistics management of machinery and equipment. This is not just about transporting bits. Once heavy machinery or equipment has arrived at a facility, it also needs to be picked up, moved and set up appropriately. For these purposes, cranes come in very handy. As cranes play an important role, crane track installation also plays an important role in these industries.  Crane track installation Techniques and standards The accurate installation of crane rails is a primary requirement for this type of heavy machinery and related industries. Selecting the most suitable track and securing it is a key issue in ensuring the integrity and longevity of the crane track system. At Yongyang , we have a reliable, skilled and experienced team to help you find the more suitable crane rails. But more on that later. Now let's talk more about crane rail installation s
