Railway J Hook Bolt

Railway J Hook Bolt

Gnee helps railways around the world solve the hidden danger of track loosening. We supply railway J hook bolts to the world. Our bolts are made of high-strength materials such as Q235 and Q245. The strength grade meets the tensile value and can avoid breaking under long-term train vibration. Gnee’s J hook bolts have undergone rigorous production testing and have strong pull-out resistance. They are suitable for long-term dynamic load scenarios and reduce maintenance frequency.

All our railway fasteners are sold at affordable prices, and customized services such as size and surface treatment are provided.

Product Description

The railway J hook bolt is bent in a “J” shape, with a threaded straight rod section and a 180° hook at the end. The hook is buried deep in the concrete, relying on friction + mechanical locking to fix the track. It is not easy to loosen under vibration, and is particularly suitable for railway tracks and crane tracks with high-frequency vibration.

Gnee’s J hook bolt has undergone rigorous testing. Its hook structure disperses stress, and its tensile strength reaches the limit of steel, which is better than ordinary bolts. When used with nuts and washers, it has reliable anti-loosening properties. We provide nuts and washers that match the bolts. Customers can also provide drawings, and we customize them according to the drawings.

Advantages of Gnee Railway J Hook Bolt

Strictly control quality requirements

All processes are in accordance with the requirements of the ISO quality management system. From the quality control of suppliers to the finished products, we operate in accordance with standard procedures. We have a strict quality control system for suppliers:

  • For the inspection and testing of raw materials, we require suppliers to provide production batch numbers, chemical composition, mechanical properties and other testing indicators.
  • Our quality control inspectors take sample sampling and batch testing during the inspection process and provide raw material material certificates and other means for control.
  • According to the different requirements of the product, we make corresponding physical and chemical tests and inspections. If the results do not meet our requirements, we will refuse to accept them. Only materials that meet our standards can be accepted.

Therefore, all our railway bolts meet national and international standards in terms of materials and sizes, have sufficient tensile strength and rigidity, ensure that the bolts are corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, and can withstand vibration and loads in railway transportation;

Production Capacity

3 bolt production lines, 8 fully automatic rail clip forming production lines, 3 fully automatic spike production lines, 2 segment bolt production lines, 2 automatic casting production lines, 2 rolled iron pad production lines, 5 gauge baffle production lines, 2 elastic pad production lines and rail joint splint production lines, CFE wrapped damping material production line, Dacromet production line, hot dip galvanizing production line, etc. With these advanced production equipment, Gnee is moving towards the goal of becoming the largest railway fastener factory in China.

Low maintenance cost

Gnee railway bolts have good anti-rust properties, can sing service life, reduce maintenance time and labor costs;

How To Install J Hook Bolt

Installation method and accessories requirements

Installation Of J bolt

Required accessories

  1. Washers: Spring washers (easy to collapse) are prohibited, and hardened flat washers (HV grade) are required to disperse pressure.
  2. Nuts: Double nut locking (such as GB 1229 standard nuts), the lower nut is pre-tightened to 70% torque, and the upper nut is locked.

Installation process (taking railway concrete sleepers as an example)

StepOperation Key Points
1. Pre-embedded PositioningBolt hook facing upwards, embedding depth ≥ 25 times the diameter (e.g., M24 bolt embedding depth 600mm)
2. Concrete PouringFix with a positioning frame during one-time pouring, deviation ≤ 2mm; backfill with non-shrink fine aggregate concrete for the reserved hole method
3. Bolt TighteningTighten in two stages: initial tightening (60% pre-tightening force) → final tightening (100%), torque error ≤ ±5% (calibrated wrench required)
4. Anti-loosening InspectionRe-tighten after 24 hours of operation, and inspect every 6 months thereafter
