Elastic Rail Clip Introduction
Elastic rail clip in rail fastening system
As an important part of E-clip fastening system, elastic rail clips
are used with concrete railway sleepers to fasten rails on both
sides. The rail clips are usually made of forged spring steel, which are
manufactured by hot forging process. The forged elastic rail clips
are considered to be better than other metal forming processes due
to most uniform microstructure.
There are several types of railway fasteners. Elastic rail clips
are in a category called elastic fasteners. They can be engaged in
line with the rail in E-clip fastening, or called fast clip
fastening system. Both serve very well in attaching the rail track
to the base plate and most importantly controlling those
longitudinal forces. In this article we will give you a detailed
introduction to Elastic rail clips. Technical specifications of elastic rail clips
As a leading manufacturer of rail fastening industry in China,
AGICO is extremely capable of producing elastic rail clips for any
type of toe load and axle load requirements to fix steel rails on
wooden, steel or concrete sleepers. We offer various types of
elastic rail clips with size steel bar diameter from 12mm to 20mm.
We manufacture different types of elastic rail clips with flat toe
for broad gauge line, having the toe load from 850kgf to 1100kgf,
and are capable of providing any type of toe load and axle load to
fix the rails on wooden, steel or concrete sleeper.
When spring steel deflection is 9.1mm, fatigue life is up to 5
million cycles without breaking.

Technical requirements of elastic clip fastening system
An ideal elastic fastening system should be able to meet the
following requirements:
- Elastic clip fastening system should provide sufficient elasticity
to absorb the vibrations and shocks caused by moving loads.
- Elastic clip fastening should have adequate toe load which should
not reduce under service.
- Elastic clip fastening should be of “fit and forget” type to
require least maintenance.
- Elastic clip fastening should be of the type that it can be used
and re-used without losing its properties.
- Elastic clip fastening should have as few parts as possible, which
are easy to be manufactured, laid and maintained.
- Elastic clip fastening should be of the type that it cannot be
taken out and as such is free from sabotage or theft.
- Elastic clip fastening should be of universal type so that it can
be used on wooden, steel or concrete sleepers.
- The last and most important point is elastic clip fastening should
be cheap and have long service life.
Elastic rail clip or PR 401 clip
PR 401 clip, or called elastic rail clip, is a standard type of
elastic fastening. It is a “fit and forget” type of fastening and
very little attention is required to maintain the same.
The toe load is quite adequate to ensure that there is no relative
movement between rail tracks and rail sleepers. On the construction
of elastic fastening system, elastic clips could be driven with the
help of an ordinary 4 pound hammer and requires no special tools.
In order to ensure the correct toe load, elastic rail clips should
be driven to such an extent that the outer leg of the clip flush
with the outer face of the C.I. insert.
Elastic rail clip can be fixed on wooden, steel, cast iron and
concrete sleepers with the help of base plate and with some other
ancillary fittings, elastic rail clips are widely used with
concrete sleepers.
For railway lines with concrete sleepers, malleable cast iron
inserts are inserted directly into the sleepers during the
manufacturing. Elastic rail clips are fixed in the holes of the
C.l. insert. A 4.5 mm thick grooved rubber pad has been provided
under the rail seat to, make it double elastic. Insulated liners
have also been provided for the purpose of insulation.
