The SKL14 rail fastening system, also know as W14 railway fastening system, is an elastic, screw-direct fastening system for concrete sleepers, known for its durability, reliability, and ability to reduce vibration and noise on railway tracks. It uses specific components, including the SKL14 (W14) tension clamp, plastic dowels, screw spikes, an angle guide plate, and a rail pad, to secure the rail to the sleeper, providing a stable and safe track for high-speed and urban rail transit.
The SKL14 system consists of the following key parts:
SKL14 (W14) Tension Clamp: A spring steel clip that holds the rail firmly onto the tie plate, providing elastic force and ensuring a secure connection.
Angle Guide Plate: Placed under the tension clamp, this component guides and supports the rail laterally, transferring loads to the sleeper.
Plastic Dowel: A plastic insert pressed into the concrete sleeper to provide a secure point for the screw spikes.
Sleeper Screw and Washer: Used to fasten the system to the concrete sleeper through the plastic dowel.
Rail Pad: An elastic mat, typically made of rubber or polyurethane, placed between the rail and the sleeper to absorb shock, reduce vibration, and dampen noise.
Elasticity: The SKL14 fastening system's clamps and rail pads provide elasticity, which reduces vibration and noise, improving passenger comfort and protecting the track structure.
High Reliability: The SKL14 fastening system is scientifically designed to withstand high dynamic loads, providing a stable and reliable connection for heavy-duty railway applications.
Fatigue Resistance: SKL14 fastening system offers excellent resistance to fatigue, ensuring a long service life for the components and the track.
Reduced Wear: By minimizing vibration and providing a stable connection, the SKL14 system reduces wear on the rail and sleepers.
Versatility: The SKL14 system is suitable for use with various rail profiles and on both ballasted and ballastless track structures.
Simple Installation: Components can be pre-assembled, and the system is designed for straightforward installation and maintenance.
