1. Introduction
Xinda Railway Equipment Co., Ltd. is a Chinese manufacturer specializing in railway fastening systems. The company's product portfolio covers the full spectrum of track components – from individual parts to complete fastening assemblies – serving high-speed railways, heavy-haul lines, metro systems, and light rail networks.

All products are tested and certified by the National Railway Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, qualifying Xinda as an approved supplier for major Chinese railway construction projects.
2. Elastic Rail Clips
Rail clips are the core elastic clamping components of railway fastening systems. They apply continuous clamping force to rail feet, buffer wheel-rail impact, and prevent lateral or longitudinal rail displacement under dynamic loads.
Xinda manufactures a complete range of rail clip types:
| Clip Type | Key Specifications | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| Type I Clip | Standard elastic clip | Conventional lines, mixed traffic |
| Type II Clip | Enhanced clamping force | Mainline railways |
| Type III Clip | Buckling pressure >22 KN; pre-embedded pull-out resistance >60 KN; axle load up to 25t; speed ≤160 km/h | Heavy traffic, high-density lines |
| W1 Type (WJ-8 system) | For 350km/h high-speed rail | High-speed passenger dedicated lines |
| X2 Type (WJ-8 system) | For 350km/h high-speed rail | High-speed passenger dedicated lines |
| V-Shaped Clip | Improved insulation; optional high/low clamping force弹条; compatible with composite pads | Passenger dedicated lines, ballasted tracks |
3. Fish Plates / Rail Joint Bars
Fish plates (also called splice bars or joint bars) connect two rail ends, transferring shear and bending forces across the joint.
Xinda offers fish plates for multiple rail profiles:
| Rail Profile | Hole Configuration | Application |
|---|---|---|
| 43kg/m rail | 4-hole or 6-hole | Light rail, conventional lines |
| 50kg/m rail | 4-hole or 6-hole | Mainline, mixed traffic |
| 60kg/m rail | 4-hole or 6-hole | Heavy-haul, high-speed |
| UIC60 / UIC54 | 4-hole or 6-hole | International projects |
Key features:
Hot-rolled from high-quality steel
Accurately cut and punched to specification
Available with plain or coated surface finishes
4. Tie Plates / Baseplates
Tie plates (also called baseplates or sole plates) sit between the rail and sleeper, distributing wheel loads and providing clip housing.
Xinda manufactures:
Cast iron tie plates – for light rail and conventional lines
Pressed steel tie plates – for mainline applications
Ductile cast iron baseplates – with excellent durability and surface treatment
These plates are available with single-shoulder or double-shoulder designs, compatible with various rail clip types and sleeper materials (wood, concrete, steel).
