Product Details
Rail gauge rod, also named gauge tie rod or gauge tie bar, is a
member bar which is specially designed to joint two steel rails at
the rail bottom to protect the rails from tilting and keep the
rails in certain rail gauge.
The Importance of Rail Gauge Rod
As an important accessory for railroad tracks, rail gauge tie rod
helps to improve the rails’ lateral stability and also the ability
to keep rail distance. There are some railways that with track
circuit, then it should use the insulated rail gauge rod which
adopts high insulation resistance material to separate the circuit
between two rails apart. Rail gauge may deviated if gauge tie rod
is serious lacked, it may cause derailment or even overturned when
the train passing by.
Made of two clamping devices at either end to fix railway tracks
and a connected rod in the middle, a rail gauge rod fastens two
parallel railways with certain gauge railway and prevents the rail
from sliding.
For some weaker sections of rails, like in sharp curves, turnouts,
bad ties and temporary track, rail gauge rods are quite necessary,
they help to prevent the rail track from unbalanced longitudinal
tension and keep regular rail gauges.
Features of rail gauge tie rod from Gnee Rail
1. High Intensity
2. High Durability
3. Excellent Chemical Stability
4. Easy Operation
Influence factors of rail gauges
Traffic Condition:
If the intensity of traffic on the track is likely to be more, a
gauge wider than the standard gauge is suitable.
Development of Poor Areas:
The narrow gauges are laid in certain parts of the world to develop
a poor area and thus link the poor area with the outside developed
world.
Cost of Track:
The cost of railway track is directly proportional to the width of
its gauge.
If the fund available is not sufficient to construct a standard
gauge, a metre gauge or a narrow gauge is preferred rather than
having no railways at all.
Speed of Movement:
The speed of a train is a function of the diameter of wheel which
in turn is limited by the gauge.
The wheel diameter is usually about 0.75 times the gauge width and
thus, the speed of a train is almost proportional to the gauge.
If higher speeds are to be attained, the B.G track is preferred to
the M.G or N.G track.
Nature of Country:
In mountainous country, it is advisable to have a narrow gauge of
the track since it is more flexible and can be laid to a smaller
radius on the curves.
This is the main reason why some important railways, covering
thousands of kilometers, are laid with a gauge as narrow as 610 mm.
