A base plate for 60E1 (UIC 60) rail is a specialized steel component that sits between the rail and the railroad tie (or sleeper), requiring the specific rail section 60E1 (UIC 60) for proper fit and function. These plates hold the rail in place, distribute its weight to prevent tie damage, and provide the necessary bearing surface and cant. 60E1 Tie plates are designed for specific rail sizes, so specifying the 60E1 rail section is crucial when ordering to ensure proper matching dimensions and hole patterns.
These 60E1 (UIC 60) rail base plates, also called UIC 60 tie plate or UIC 60 sole plate, can be manufactured by casting, forging, or rolling and must be specified for the UIC60 rail section. Key specifications for the tie plate include the rail size (UIC60), the plate's length and width, the number and positioning of bolt holes, and whether it has single or double shoulders.
Purpose: The baseplate or tie plate's primary function is to support the UIC60 rail, distribute the load onto the sleeper, and maintain the correct rail gauge for safety.
Applicable Rail Section: The plate must be designed to fit the specific UIC60 rail profile.
Material:Tie plates are typically made from steel, with common material specifications including low-carbon steel (e.g., Q235, S275JR), high-carbon steel, or alloy steel (e.g., QT500-7).
Manufacturing Process: 60E1 Base Plates(UIC 60 Tie Plates) can be produced by casting (cast iron or fabricated types), forging, or rolling, with each method offering different mechanical properties.
Tapering: The plate is often tapered at the ends to provide stability and maintain the correct gauge.
Shoulder Type: Tie plates can be designed with single or double shoulders, which are raised sections that help to position and hold the rail.
To specify the correct tie plate, you need to provide the following details to a supplier:
Rail Size: Specifically, that the rail is a UIC60.
Plate Dimensions: The required length and width of the tie plate.
Shoulder Type: Whether a single or double shoulder is needed.
Hole Details: The number of holes and their specific placement and size.
Material & Finish: The desired steel grade or type of material and any special finishing requirements.
