Railway fish plate, it is also called rail joint or joint bar. As one of the rail components, rail joint’s function is different from other rail components. Rail joint is a flat metal plate usually used to connect adjacent two rails by a number of rail bolts or railroad spikes.

Rail Joints, also called railway fish plate or joint bar, splice bar, is a metal joints bar connected to the ends of two rails to bond them together. A quality rail joint bar can largely reduce the impact of wheels to the jointing sections of the rail tracks and increase the continuity and steadiness of the train when passing through the jointing sections. This rail components is a guarantee to railroad transportation safety no matter it’s light or heavy.

A rail pad is a track accessory placed between the rail foot and the sleeper or baseplate, designed to absorb vertical and lateral forces, prevent concrete or timber sleeper damage, and maintain consistent track geometry.

Steel Rails, also known as rail profiles, are the main components of railway tracks. Its function is to guide the wheels of locomotives and vehicles; withstand the enormous pressure of the wheels, and pass pressure force on to rail sleepers.

Steel rails, also called railroad rails, are primarily used for railway tracks in transportation systems. They are a key component of railway systems, providing a stable and durable track for passenger trains, freight trains, and high-speed rail networks or subways.

Rail pads are elastic polyurethane mats which are interposed between steel rails and railway sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting.

A steel rail is a hot-rolled steel bar forming the main component of a railway track, providing a smooth, strong, continuous surface to guide train wheels, support immense weight, and transfer forces to sleepers.

Rail pads are elastic polyurethane mats which are interposed between steel rails and railway sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting.The starting stiffness of a rail pad is designed to not be high so that their relative deformation under the spring clip toe loads is greatly substantial.

The rail pad, also known as bottom plate, is an elastic polyurethane pad assembled between the rails and sleeper to protect the top of the sleeper from wear and impact.

A rail pad, also called rail rubber plate, is designed between the rail tie plate and foot of the rail, made by an elastic polyurethane mat, which is interposed between steel rails and tie sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting.

Rail elastic clip is used to fasten the rails to the underlying base plate together with the concrete sleeper. Usually rail clips are made of forged spring steel which is produced by hot forging process. Because of the uniform microstructure of forged clips, it is considered to be better than other metal forming process.

Heavy duty rail and Light duty rail. So what is the difference between them? And how to choose?
