What is the Different Between Dog Spikes and Screw Spikes?

 As a Spike and Rail Supplier, share with you. Dog spikes and screw spikes are the two most common railroad spikes on the market.

Dog Spikes

Dog Spikes

Geared up with a countered head, a railroad spike is a big nail utilized to protect as well as secure rails in a railway system. The rail spike was created by Robert Livingston Stevens, and also was first utilized in 1832.

The primary feature of the railroad spike is to ensure a proper scale setting. Usual sizes are normally in between 9-10/ 16in and also 5.5-6in long. With a flat-edged point, the chisel-shaped spike is more immune to loosening up. Throughout railway transport, the spike does not require to offer a solid upright force, which allows the railway track a lot more freedom of motion.

Initially presented in France in 1860, the screw spike soon ended up being the most usual railway material in continental Europe. Also called the rail screw, it is a large screw made use of to fasten any type of two railway tracks. It is additionally made use of to repair tie plates, or deal with into an opening bored in the sleeper.

The cost to manufacture screw spikes is greater than the rail spike as a result of a higher taking care of power, and also a feature allowing it to be integrated with springtime washers. Screw spikes are primarily utilized in heavy rail applications, along with in peat jobs, yard events, and recreation parks.

Screw spikes are usually used to fasten ribbed base and single plates to wood sleepers, as well as play a crucial function in railway securing systems with the help of a plastic dowel. In order to meet the different use standards for railway tracks, the screw spikes can be classified into several kinds.

With particular requirements such as size, diameter, drive head and thread accounts, the railway screw spikes can be classified into four kinds, including the Ss series sleeper screw, the square-head screw spike, the hexagon screw spike, as well as the double-head screw spike.

Pet spikes are an additional essential element of railroad spikes. Because of both lugs on either side, the canine spike looks like a canine's head. Dog spikes have comparable measurements to screw spikes, however have a pointed passing through head.

Among canine spikes, the dog screw is an unique one. In order to deal with rails right to rail sleepers, it is essential to have a flange with a radius. Throughout insertion, with the help of the trademarked wave string type and far better pull-out resistance, the Dog screws can lower damages to railway sleepers.

Screw spikes can supply more than two times the repairing power of Dog Spikes. As a result of the higher power, and the feature that can be incorporated with springtime washing machines, the expense of manafacturing screw spikes is greater than pet spikes or dog nails.

Railway Spikes are made use of to make certain the security of railway fastening systems and transportation. If railway spikes are used in the right place, it will certainly have a striking effect.

Tension Clamp Is Important

图片
With the increase of the axle load of the railway locomotive and the improvement of the running speed of the train, as well as the development of the urban rail transit and the subway, the Tension Clamp  is also becoming a key link in the continuous development of the track structure, which is concerned by all the countries. In the general line, the need is about buckle pressure, good elastic spring, to meet the needs of heavy-duty, high-speed lines, while in the viaduct track seamless circuit, in order to reduce the interaction between the rail and the bridge, we have to ensure the elasticity that is enough, if the train goes through, the loss of undercover cushion due to compression caused by the buckle pressure is small, and fasteners of  Railway Fastening System  do not loose. Although it is a small public work device, but it is an important part of the track, because of its large demand, about 7000 per kilometer, its reliability is directly related to the safety...

Pay Attention to Rail Plate Base Pad

图片
As an indispensable part of the railway, the  Rail Plate Base Pad  plays an important role on the railway. If it falls off, which will influence the whole  Railway Fastening System  deeply. In the high-speed railway subgrade, the separation of the slab Rail Plate Base Pad will reduce the track strength. This situation means the stiffness and service life of the track will be reduced directly. It causes the rail plate base pad to crack and disconnects from the lug time. The pressure of the top surface of subgrade increases with the length of abscission. Meanwhile, the trend of increasing is becoming more and more obvious.

Do You Know Heavy Haul Rail?

图片
The first International Heavy Haul Congress in 1978 was held in Perth, Australia. Since the establishment of the International Association of Heavy Haul Transport in 1985, the definition of heavy railroads has evolved with heavy loads and advancing with the time. In 2005, the International Association of Heavy Load Associations proposed a new heavy haul railway standard that required to meet at least two of the following three conditions: 1.train traction quality is not less than 8000t 2.vehicle axle in the vehicle reach or exceed 27t 3.The length of the line is not less than 150 km, the annual freight volume is not less than 40 million tons. We support several types of  Rail Fastening System  to meet the different rail's requirements.
