The Role Of The Fasteners Of Railway Track Fasteners

Railway rail fasteners are the parts on the track used to connect the rails and sleepers (or other types of under-rail foundations), also known as intermediate connecting parts. Its function is to fix the rail on the sleeper, maintain the gauge and prevent the longitudinal and lateral movement of the rail relative to the sleeper. The railway rail fastener system is divided into: shrapnel fastener system, gusset fastener system, and elastic strip fastener system.
