Product Description

Main uses
1. Connect the rails
In non-seamless circuits, it is used to mechanically connect the ends of two rails to transfer longitudinal forces.
Maintain the continuity of the track and reduce the wheel-rail impact.
2. Provide structural support
Enhance the bending and shear resistance of the rail joint parts to prevent the rail ends from sagging or misalignment due to train loads.
3. Adapt to the expansion and contraction of steel rails
When the temperature changes, it is allowed for the rails to have a certain expansion and contraction space to reduce the influence of temperature stress on the tracks.
4. Easy to maintain and replace
Compared with welded joints, splint connections are easier to disassemble, facilitating rail replacement or line maintenance.

 

Usage scenarios
1. Ordinary sewn circuit
Traditional railway lines generally use clamps to connect steel rails, and rail joints need to be reserved at the joints to adapt to temperature changes.
2. Turnouts and crossing sections
Special clamps are often used at the joint of the turnout point rail, and other parts to accommodate complex forces.
3. Bridges and expansion adjustment zones
In sections of Bridges or where the temperature span is large, the plate joints can allow the rails to freely expand and contract, reducing additional stress.
4. Temporary tracks or construction sections
During railway construction or emergency maintenance, the splint connection facilitates quick installation and adjustment.
5. Dedicated lines for mines and factory areas
Clamping plate joints are still widely used in heavy-duty or low-speed lines because of their simple structure and low cost.

 

Rail joint connection clamps are important components of traditional railways and are suitable for scenarios such as sloped lines, turnouts, and Bridges. Although modern high-speed railways and subways widely adopt seamless lines (welded long steel rails), in some special sections (such as telescopic adjustment zones and turnouts), clamps are still needed for connection. Correct selection and maintenance can effectively increase the service life of the joint and ensure driving safety.

 

The Rail Joint Bar (also known as the fishplate) is a metal component used to connect the ends of two rails. It is fastened with bolts to maintain the continuity and stability of the rails and ensure that the train passes smoothly through the joint area.
