Elastic Rail Clips Manufacturing Process

Elastic rail clip offered by AGICO is very important components that are heavily used in laying of railway tracks. We manufacture these rail clips using finest quality raw material ensuring enhanced sturdiness and long durability. Moreover, our rail clips are made of forged spring steel which is thought the best raw material. Therefore, elastic rail clips we manufactured saved a large amount of maintenance cost.

AGICO can produce various kinds or elastic rail clips like E-type (E1609, E1809, E1817, E2007, E2009, E2055, etc), SKL tension clamps (SKL1, SKL3, SKL12, SKL14, SKL75, etc), PR series, N clips, gauge lock clip, Deenik clip as well as other standard and non-standard clips(e.g.  and Vossloh) can be customized by drawing or samples.

Elastic Rail Clips Manufacturing Process

Adhering to quality first, AGICO pay great attention to rail clip production process. With professional technic workers and strict quality monitoring, AGICO elastic rail clip processing procedures are as follows.

Raw Material

High quality spring steel from reliable and certified manufacturers for a long time.

Shearing

Spring steel bar must be cut according to the required length.

Heating

Forging temperature (950-1000 degrees Celsius), but over heating shall be avoided to check decarburization.

Forming

Proper heating rods shall be transferred to the forging press.

Hardening

Forged rail clips moved to the quench tank. Dimensional accuracy and quench hardness of rail clips are checked before tempering.

Tempering

The rail clips are tempered at about 350 Celsius to achieve appropriate toughness in the spring.

Inspection

Products are checked thoroughly as per China CRCC and customer required specification and design.

Packing

Clips can be packed in woven bags or upon customer requirement.
