Rail Rubber Pad

Rail Rubber Pad: 

We are engaged in offering an exclusive assortment of heavy duty railway components like Rail Rubber Pad 1 Meter Long. These plates are made using superior quality rubber and plastic material, reducing shocks of vibration of a passing train. Abreast of excellent mechanical features and sustainability, these products can also be customized as per clients’ specific demands. Rail pads are made from a variety of both natural and synthetic elastomers to meet the precise demands of the operating environment from high-speed track to maintenance bays. Rubber (natural, synthetic or composite) pads are supplied for concrete and wooden sleepers whereas EVA pads are supplied for most steel sleeper applications.

A rail pad, also called rail rubber plate, is designed between the rail tie plate and foot of the rail, made by an elastic polyurethane mat, which is interposed between steel rails and tie sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting. Its defined stiffness is used to increase the elasticity of the superstructure of the ballast and reduce shock and vibration in the rail system. With such upgraded load distribution, it will lead to greater passenger comfort and less wearing onto the superstructure. The strengthened elasticity effects positively onto the wear of the superstructure items and rolling stock. It’s always fastened within a fastening system by screw spikes or rail bolts into the sleeper ties. The reason why rail pad made up of rubber or plastic is to dampen the shocks or vibration of a passing train. Usually the starting stiffness is designed a little low in order that the relative deformation under the spring clip toe loads is substantial, which can guarantees the rail pad maintaining in close contact with the rail in spite of any vertical movements of the latter.

Rail Rubber Pad is used in Metro Railway Track Fittings.

A rail pad is essential in reducing shock and vibration in a rail system. The pad laid under the rail to ensure:

• Load distribution over a larger surface
• Elimination of load concentration and the resultant fatigue stresses
• Centering of loads on the supporting element
• Absorption of uneven contact surfaces between rail and support
• Reduction of noise and vibration
• Sealing between the bottom of the rail and the top of the support
• Reduction of wear of the rail and its support
