Joint Bars 4 Holes for Rail 54E1

For 54E1 (UIC54) rail, 4-hole joint bars (also known as fishplates) are the standard fastening solution for connecting rail ends in medium-load tracks. They are primarily designed according to UIC864-4 and UIC864-8 international standards.

Technical Specifications

The standard 4-hole joint bar for 54E1 rail is characterized by its specific weight and length to match the rail's profile: 

• Length: Standard versions are typically 630 mm long.

• Weight: Each piece weighs approximately 15.6 kg.

• Material: 45#, 50#, 55#.

• Hole Diameter: Generally drilled to accommodate 24 mm to 27 mm diameter fishbolts.

• Joint Gap: These plates are configured for different expansion gaps, commonly 4mm or 10mm. 

Key Features & Application

• Expansion Allowance: These bars are installed with a small gap between rail ends to allow for thermal expansion and contraction without buckling the track.

• Load Distribution: They ensure track continuity by distributing the dynamic loads of passing trains across the joint, maintaining alignment and stability.

• Fastening Requirement: A standard set for one rail joint consists of two joint bars (one for each side) and four fishbolt sets, which typically include the bolt, nut, and spring washers.
