  • Rail Shoulder

As a leading manufacturer and supplier of rail fasteners, Xinda rail are able to supply different types of shoulders satisfying clients' needs.

Rail shoulder is semi-embedded into the sleeper to fasten the clip of the base plate. Rail shoulder also protects the clip from being stolen. Rail shoulder mainly has two types: rail cast iron shoulder and weld-on shoulder. Both two kinds of rail shoulders can be used for the fixation of elastic rail clips.

rail cast iron shoulder

As it is named, rail cast iron shoulder is made by casting from iron and compressed in concrete sleepers. And its available material is GB/T 1348-1988, NF EN 1563(1997), ISO1038, DIN 1693, JIS G5502 (2001), KS D 4302, GOST 7293(1985) or BS EN 1563(1997).

Weld-on shoulder

The weld-on rail shoulders are applied at the typical position of rail track where the rail shoulders are weld on flat steel plate rather than the standard tie plate. As its name, the weld-on rail shoulders are produced by hot forging, according to AREMA standard. In general, the materials for weld-on rail shoulders production should be low or mid carbon steel, just according to the clients’ requirements.

Notes for rail shoulders

  • The weld on rail shoulder fastening makes the fabrication of rail retaining units on both steel sleepers and steel base plates possible when the E style of elastic rail clips are used for the fasting of the rail.
  • Even though the rail cast in shoulders are usually embedded in the concrete rail sleepers, they can also be welded on to longer length steel sleeper sections or bearers for use in the fabrication of switch and crossing layouts where vertical rail geometry is employed.
  • The welding ability of rail shoulders in particular position which is dictated by layout design makes rail shoulders much useful and cost effective.
  • Rail shoulder accessories used for specific rail sections should be adopted according to design criteria in order to achieve the correct elastic clip toe loading. And certain rail shoulders with milled weld area faces are provided to achieve a better weld integrity.
