Non-Elastic Rail Clips Types

Non-Elastic Rail Clips Types

Non-elastic rail clips are essential components in railway track systems, designed to secure rails to sleepers or ties. Unlike elastic rail clips that provide flexibility and shock absorption, non-elastic clips offer a more rigid connection. Several types of non-elastic rail clips are commonly used, each with unique characteristics.

E-Clips

E-clips are widely used in North America and other regions. They are named for their "E" shape and offer a rigid connection between the rail and the sleeper. They are cost-effective and provide stability.

Fast-Clips

Fast-clips are a type of non-elastic clip that is easy to install and provides a firm hold on the rail. They are commonly used in both heavy and light rail applications.

Deenik clips, while also available in elastic versions, have non-elastic variants. They are commonly used in the mining industry and provide a robust connection between the rail and sleeper.

Gauge lock clips are designed to maintain rail gauge, providing stability and preventing lateral movement. They are non-elastic and suitable for various rail types.
