Railway Gauge Baffle

Railway gauge baffle is a baffle installed on both sides of the railway track, mainly to control the gauge and ensure the standard of the railway line. It is mainly used for spring clip type I and type II fasteners. It is mostly made of high-quality hot-rolled steel.

Product Description

The railway gauge baffle is one of the important components of the railway. It is mainly used for prestressed concrete tracks of standard gauge straight lines and curves with a radius of ≥300m and 50, 60kg/m rail lines, and plays a very important role in driving safety. Railway gauge baffles are divided into joint gauge baffles, intermediate gauge baffles, heightened gauge baffles, and heavy-duty gauge baffles.
Gnee Rails provides various specifications of railway gauge baffles, including ordinary baffles, black oxide baffles, galvanized baffles, nitrided baffles, Dacromet baffles, galvanized baffles and galvanized nickel baffles for customers to choose from.

rail fastener system assembly

At present, our railway gauge baffles have been exported to the United States, Canada, France, Australia, South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries, and have won unanimous praise from customers.

The Role Of The Gauge Baffle:

  1. Maintain the gauge: ensure that the distance between the rails meets the standard;
  2. Bearing load: share part of the load borne by the rails and sleepers;
  3. Prevent lateral movement of the rails: enhance the overall stability of the track;
  4. Reduce rail wear: make the rail run in the correct position and extend the service life;
  5. Conveniently adjust the rail gauge: fine-tune the rail gauge within a certain range.

The Difference Between The Railway Gauge Baffle And Rail Clamps

  1. Different functions: The main function of the railway clamps is to fix the rails and ensure the safety of railway operation; while the main function of the gauge baffle is to adjust the track gauge of the railway track to ensure the line standard of the railway;
  2. Different requirements: The rail clamps requires a tight connection when connecting the rails, while the requirement of the track gauge baffle is to ensure that the contact surface between the baffle and the railway track is flat and can meet the rail gauge standard.

Gauge Baffles Available

Gnee supplies 3#, 6#, 10#, 14#, 20# and other gauge baffles;

Spring clip I-type fastener gauge baffle:

50kg/m rail:

Divided into two types: intermediate baffle and joint baffle, each baffle fastener has two numbers 14 and 20.

rail gauge baffle for 50kg/m rail

60kg/m rail: There is only one type of gauge baffle (universal for middle and joint), with two numbers 6 and 10.

rail gauge baffle for 60kg/m rail

Spring clip II type fastener gauge baffle:

Similar to spring bar I type fastener, but may be adjusted according to specific design and requirements. Generally, an oblong hole design is used to better adapt to the adjustment needs of the fastener system.

Due to different production batches and specific models, the above pictures are for reference only. Please contact our professionals for confirmation for details.

Features

1. Gauge baffles are suitable for connecting 50, 60kg/m rails with prestressed concrete sleepers, prestressed wide concrete sleepers and integral roadbeds in straight sections on standard gauge railway lines with a radius R greater than 300m;

2. When installing gauge baffles, the nut torque is controlled at 80-120N.m for straight sections and curves with R greater than 650M, and the nut torque is controlled at 120-150N.m for sections with a radius R less than 650m;

3. The gauge is adjusted by inserting pads to raise the rail top elevation, and different types of gauge baffles and baffle seats are used to adjust the gauge. The adjustment amount of 50kg/m rails is -8~+16mm.

Advantages of Gnee Gauge Baffle

As special-shaped steel, most railway gauge baffles are currently hot-rolled, with relatively complex production processes and high requirements for operating technical skills. Therefore, when purchasing gauge baffles, in addition to price, you should also pay attention to product quality.

Gnee provides high-quality gauge baffles that meet the requirements:

1. The surface is flat and crack-free, without burrs or protrusions that affect the use of baffles, guide rails, and baffle seats.

2. In terms of rust prevention and marking, the rust-proof gauge baffle can meet the dimensional accuracy and performance requirements, and meet the gauge requirements used in different areas such as general areas, coastal areas, areas with severe acid rain corrosion, and areas with severe acid rain corrosion.

Gnee Rails provides a variety of specifications of baffles:
We provides a variety of specifications of baffles, including ordinary baffles, blackened baffles, galvanized baffles, nitrided baffles, Dacromet baffles, galvanized baffles, galvanized nickel baffles, etc., for customers to choose from.
