Elastic Rail Clip for Sale

Elastic rail clips, also known as railroad rail clips. It is an indispensable core component of railway tracks. It has a unique elastic design. It is used in conjunction with a rail spike and rail bolt to hold the steel rail in place securely. It provides stability, safety, and comfort for railway systems.
AGICO is a supplier of railway equipment solutions. We offer various models of elastic rail clips to meet the different needs of customers, including SKL clip, E clip, NABLA clip, etc. We can also provide complete rail fastening systems. We ensure that each component has undergone rigorous quality testing. Make your railway project run smoothly.

Features of Elastic Rail Clip

Good stability

Elastic rail clips utilize a pre-defined elastic structure. Secure the steel rails firmly to the railway sleeper. This holding force can effectively resist the longitudinal and lateral forces generated during train operation.

Good durability

Our elastic rail clips undergo a special heat treatment process. And it has undergone rigorous testing and quality inspection. Therefore, they possess extremely high fatigue resistance.

Good shock absorption

The Elastic rail clip has good elasticity. It can effectively absorb the impact and noise generated when the train is running. Extend service life and improve the environmental quality along the route.

Simple maintenance

The elastic rail clip has a simple design and is easy to install and remove. It can be quickly installed and removed using specialized tools. Reduce construction difficulty and improve construction efficiency.

Types of Elastic Rail Clip

SKL Clip

SKL clip is a boltless fastener originating from Germany. It is inserted directly into the rail shoulder using specialized installation tools. It has a simple structure and is easy to install and disassemble. It has a strong ability to adapt.

E Clip

E-clip is the most common type of fastener, widely adaptable and economical. Secured using railway bolts and railway nuts. Common WJ-7 and WJ-8 fastening systems use an E clip.

PR Clip

PR clip is an optimization based on E clip. It has a longer lifespan and better elasticity retention. Railway bolts and railway nuts are needed for securing the equipment. It is commonly used in high-speed railways and heavy-haul railways.

Fast Clip

Fast clip is a boltless, quick-fastening fastener. It is quick to install and remove. It is widely used in subways, light rails, and commuter railways across the country.

Nabla Clip

Nabla clip is also a type of boltless fastener. The elastic clips directly press against the rails by deforming. It has excellent elasticity and resistance to relaxation. It is widely used in European railways.

GL Clip

GL clip is a fastener used in urban transportation tracks such as subways. It focuses more on vibration reduction and noise reduction performance. It effectively reduces the noise impact of subway operation on the surrounding environment.

Elastic Rail Clip Manufacturing Process

AGICO uses high-quality spring steel, such as 60Si2Mn and 60Si2MnA. This type of steel has high strength and good fatigue resistance. Every batch of steel must undergo quality inspection upon arrival.

The large coils of steel are straightened and peeled to remove the surface oxide scale. According to the product design requirements, the steel is drawn and processed to the required diameter.

At room temperature, steel is bent into a designed shape using a professional CNC bending machine.

Quenching: Heat the molded rail clips to 850-950°C, then immerse them in oil or other cooling medium. This allows railroad rail clips to have higher rigidity and strength.
Tempering: The quenched railroad rail clips are reheated to 400-500°C and held at that temperature for a period of time. This can improve the toughness and plasticity of railroad rail clips.

To withstand harsh outdoor environments, railroad rail clips must undergo anti-corrosion treatment. It can be plain, HDG, or electric static coating. Customization is also available based on customer needs.

Finally, the finished railroad rail clips undergo rigorous quality inspection, including dimensional inspection, fatigue testing, buckle pressure testing, and appearance inspection. Ensure that all products leaving the factory meet the standards.

Electric static coating, along with rail spikes, rail bolts, rail nuts, etc., will be assembled into a complete fastening system. They can also be packaged individually. Packaging methods include woven bags and wooden crates.
