Railroad Anchors for Sale
Railroad anchors, also known as railroad track anchor and railroad rail anchor, is a device for fixing rails. Railroad anchors are one of the most important devices in the fastening system. If the railway fastening system lacks this component, it may cause the train to derail. Therefore, railroad anchors play a vital role in ensuring the stability and smoothness of the entire system and the track. Rail movement can lead to different track gauges, crooked sleepers, etc., which endangers driving safety. The railroad anchors are installed between the railway sleeper and the rail. It grasps the bottom of the rail and leans against the sleeper, thereby effectively fixing the rail and preventing the rail and sleeper from moving longitudinally due to thermal expansion and contraction, vibration or acceleration and deceleration of the train.
AGICO can customize railroad anchors for you according to the weight and size of the rails you use. Our railroad anchors can meet GB, AREMA or ASTM, BS, UIC and other standards. They can be used for 50kg, 85kg, UIC54, UIC60, 90/91lb, 115RE, 136RE and other rails. Our railroad anchors are generally made of cast iron and steel. The latest development is to use composite materials or high-strength steel as raw materials. Compared with traditional materials, it has better quality and more wear resistance. AGICO is also constantly improving its rail anchor production technology. One of the latest technological advances is the use of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machines to make rail anchor production more precise, improve product quality, and better grip the sleepers and rails, making trains run smoother and safer.
Technical Support for APC Boltless Anchor Rail Fastening System
1. Drive-on Railroad Anchors
The drive-on railroad anchors are simple in design and is formed in one piece. Its unique wedge-shaped structure can effectively fix the track. The installation method is to use a hammer or other professional tools to drive it under the rail by knocking. This installation method is simple and fast, and the subsequent maintenance is also relatively convenient, which reduces daily maintenance manpower and thus reduces operating costs. drive-on railroad anchors are widely used in heavy-haul railways because they can withstand high-load trains and high-frequency train passages.
2. Spring Railroad Anchors
The spring railroad anchors are made of high-strength spring steel and has excellent elasticity. When a train passes by, the spring railroad anchors can bend, thereby reducing the impact force and vibration caused by the running of the train, further protecting the rails and extending the service life of the rails. Spring railroad anchors are very suitable for high-speed railways. Due to the high speed of high-speed railways, there is high vibration. The design of spring railroad anchors can just alleviate the vibration and impact caused by the high speed, ensuring the smooth operation of the train.
3. Double Shoulder Railroad Anchors
The most unique design of the double shoulder railroad anchors are that it has two protruding shoulders. The two shoulders have stronger fixing and gripping forces, which can better fix the rails and sleepers and effectively prevent the rails from moving longitudinally or laterally when subjected to impact and vibration. The double shoulder railroad anchors are made of QT450-10 material and can withstand greater impact and vibration. Its superior performance is suitable for a variety of railways, such as high-speed railways and heavy-load railways, especially for curves and slopes.
Railroad Anchors for Russia Market (APC-4 Anchor)
The double shoulder railroad anchors are also called APC-4 anchor, which is a high – quality ductile iron casting. APC-4 anchor is widely used in the Russian market. It is made of QT400-15 and its various mechanical properties strictly comply with the TOCT 7293-85 standard. APC-4 anchor is usually used with APC-4 rail clips in APC Boltless Anchor Rail Fastening System. APC Boltless Anchor Rail Fastening System is a boltless fixing system that can flexibly adapt to slight deformation of the track and effectively alleviate the impact and noise generated by train operation. It greatly reduces the wear and tear of the train caused by impact force. It reduces maintenance costs and effectively improves the stability and safety of the train.

Advantages of Railroad Anchors
Safety
Stability and safety are crucial during train operation. The unique design of the railroad rail anchor enables it to tightly grip the rails and sleepers, effectively preventing the movement of the track, reducing the impact and vibration generated by the train during high-speed operation, ensuring the stability of the track, and thus improving the safety of the train during operation. At the same time, it also reduces noise and improves passenger comfort.
Easy to Operate
The railroad rail anchor has a simple design and is easy to operate, so it is also very convenient to install and maintain, saving installation time and labor costs. Due to its simple structure, the damage rate is low, and the railroad rail anchor effectively prevents the track from moving, so it reduces track wear, thereby reducing maintenance costs, extending the service life of rails and sleepers, and effectively improving work efficiency.
Durability
Railroad rail anchor is made of high-strength high-quality 60Si2MnA steel, which has extremely high tensile strength and wear resistance, and strong environmental adaptability. High temperature, low temperature and humidity changes will not affect its stability and durability. And after multiple fatigue tests, the quality of each accessory is strictly controlled to ensure that each part fully meets the use standards. Improve the durability of the use of railroad rail anchor.
Widely Used
Due to its superior performance, reliable quality and strong environmental adaptability, railroad rail anchor is suitable for railways in different climates and geological conditions around the world. It can maintain its stability in wet, low temperature or dry environments, so it has become the choice of most customers. It is widely used in various types of railways, such as high-speed railways, heavy-load railways, urban rail transit and other special tracks.
