Rail joint bolts with nuts in size M27×160 are heavy-duty railway fastening elements used to securely connect rail joints and splice bars under high dynamic loads.They are also referred to as a fishbolt, track joint bar bolt, or splice bar bolt).
Specifications and Standards
· Thread Diameter: M27
· Length: 160 mm
· Standards: Manufactured to standards GOST 11530-76 for the track bolts and GOST 11532-93 / GOST-equivalent specifications for matching M27 track nuts.
· Material & Strength: High-strength structural carbon or alloy steel, available in strength classes 8.8 or 10.9.
· Coating: Protective zinc or phosphate coating for corrosion resistance in open-track or industrial environments.
· Application: Designed to be paired with appropriate spring/lock washers (such as ShS-27) to resist vibration and loosening under train traffic.
⚙️ Assembly Components
These fasteners are distributed in three distinct packaging forms:
1. The Bolt Alone: Just the M27×160 specialized track bolt.
2. Bolt with Nut: Complemented by an M27 track nut manufactured according to GOST 11532-76 (DSTU GOST 11532-93), featuring structural carbon steel and a protective zinc or phosphate anti-corrosion coating.
3. Complete Assembly: A package that includes the track bolt, the matching M27 nut, and a heavy-duty single-ring spring washer (such as the ShS-27 or AREMA type) to maintain tension and absorb track vibrations.

Technical Specifications and Standards
· Thread Diameter: M27 (27 mm metric thread)
· Length: 160 mm
· Manufacturing Standards: Produced according to rigorous industry standards, including GOST 11530-76 for track bolts and GOST 11532-93 (or regional equivalent specifications) for matching M27 track nuts.
· Material & Strength Grade: Forged from high-strength structural carbon steel or alloy steel, available in premium strength classes 8.8 and 10.9 to resist severe shear stresses.
· Anti-Corrosion Coating: Finished with a protective zinc-plated or phosphate coating to prevent rust and corrosion in harsh open-track and industrial environments.
· Application: Engineered to be paired with heavy-duty spring/lock washers (such as ShS-27) to absorb constant vibrations and prevent loosening.
Heavy-Duty Assembly Components
To suit different maintenance and installation workflows, these specialized railway fasteners are typically distributed in three packaging configurations:
· The Track Bolt Alone: The standalone M27×160 specialized fishbolt featuring a standard oval or square neck to prevent rotation during tightening.
· Bolt with Matching Nut: The M27×160 bolt paired with a structural carbon steel M27 track nut manufactured according to GOST 11532-76 / DSTU GOST 11532-93 specifications.
· Complete Joint Fastener Assembly: A comprehensive kit containing the track bolt, matching M27 nut, and a heavy-duty single-ring spring washer (such as the ShS-27 or AREMA type) to maintain optimal clamping force.
