For UIC54 (54E1) rail, 4-hole fishplates (also known as joint bars) are standardized components used to securely connect rail ends while accommodating thermal expansion. The most common technical configuration for these is the U79 type.
Sigunum Rail Fastening is a direct manufacturer of high-quality fishplates for Rail UIC54. 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 UIC54.
There are two primary design variations for 4-hole UIC54 fishplates, differing mainly in length and weight based on the required expansion gap at the rail joint:
In addition of length 580 mm and 630 mm fishplates for Rail UIC54, Signum Rail is also able to provide 600 mm fishplates for Rail UIC54.
Steel Grade: Most 4-hole fishplates are forged from high-strength carbon steel, such as 55# (Chinese standard) or 40#/50#.
Mechanical Properties: They are engineered for a tensile strength of 550–650 MPa and an elongation of at least 18% to withstand the high stress and impact of rail operations.
Standards Compliance: These parts are manufactured to meet international UIC864-4 and UIC864-8 specifications.
Surface Treatment: Common finishes include plain or black oil to prevent corrosion during shipping and storage.
