Application Rules of Rail Anchors
How to use the rail anchors? There are general rules on the application of rail anchors:
- Rail anchors should be on the gage side of the rail base against the same tie face on opposite rails.
- Rail anchors have to hold the rail base tightly and firmly and have full bearing against rail tie face.
- A new rail anchor and a rail tie will be needed when the bearing of rail anchor against the tie has been disturbed.
- Anchors shall not be moved by driving them along the rail.
- The rail ties should be kept straightened when the anchors are applied.
Types of rail anchors:
1. Rail anchors are always used in steel rails such as 50kg, 85kg, UIC54, UIC60, 90/91lb, 115RE, 136RE, just to name a few. We can produce T or V-shaped rail anchors as well as other types according to clients’ requirements, by forging or casting.

2. Generally speaking, based on our former production experience, most common material for rail anchor production is 60Si2MnA, which is often used for rails such as 50kg, 70lb, 80lb, 90/91lb and so on.

Type | Material | Weight(g/pc) |
50Kg | 60Si2MnA | 800 |
70LB | 60Si2MnA | 800 |
85LB | 60Si2MnA | 800 |
90/91LB | 60Si2MnA | 800 |
3. Rail anchors for Russia market : high grade ductile iron castings

Russian rail anchor is often used in railways by casting, which is made from material of QT400-15. All related mechanical properties of it are strictly following with the standard of TOCT 7293-85.
