Fishplates 4 Holes for Rail 54E1

For 54E1 (UIC54) rail, 4-hole fishplates (also known as joint bars) are standard structural connectors used to join rail ends while maintaining track stability and allowing for thermal expansion. 

Sigunum Rail Fastening is a direct manufacturer of high-quality fishplates for Rail 54E1. We specialize in producing durable, precise railway joint bars to meet international standards, and we work closely with clients worldwide to provide reliable rail fastening solutions.

We are also good at producing common variations of fishplates for Rail 54E1.

Technical Specifications

• Dimensions & Weight: A standard 4-hole fishplate for 54E1 rail is typically 630 mm long and weighs approximately 15.6 kg per piece.

• Material: Most are manufactured from high-quality 55# carbon steel, which provides high tensile strength (up to 1175 MPa) and wear resistance. Other materials like Q235B or ductile iron are sometimes used for lighter applications.

• Hole Configuration: These plates feature four holes precisely drilled to match the UIC54 rail profile, typically accommodating bolts with diameters around 30 mm to ensure a tight, secure fit.

• Standards: Manufactured in compliance with European standards EN 13674-1 and international UIC 864-4/864-8 specifications. 

Core Functions & Types

• Load Distribution: They evenly distribute dynamic loads from passing trains across the rail joint, reducing fatigue on both the rail and fastening components.

• Thermal Expansion: The fishbolts pass through wider holes in the rail web, allowing the rails to slide slightly as they expand or contract with temperature changes.

• Variants:

• Normal Fishplates: The standard 4-hole type for typical track sections.

• Joggled Fishplates: Specifically designed for repairing or clamping over welded joints or cracks.

• Insulated Fishplates: Used to provide electrical insulation between rails, which is essential for certain signaling and track circuit systems.
