The E2009 Pandrol Clip is a specific model of elastic rail clip within the classic Pandrol E - Clip rail fastening system, one of the most widely used track fastening solutions in the world. It is engineered to secure rails to sleepers (ties) with self - tensioning clamping force, providing long - term stability, vibration resistance, and reduced maintenance.

What Is the E2009 Pandrol Rail Clip?

The E2009 designation refers to a spring steel elastic clip used in E‑clip fastening systems. It’s designed for a 20 mm diameter spring clip and fits specific rail sizes and baseplates in ballasted track applications. Variants like E1809, E2001, E2007, and E2055 are similar but differ slightly in geometry and intended rail sections.

Key Specifications of E2009 Pandrol Clip

1. Material: Typically manufactured from heat-treated spring steel grades such as 60Si2MnA, 60Si2CrA, 55Si2Mn, or 38Si7.

2. Diameter: The nominal bar diameter is 20 mm (approximately 25/32 inches).

3. Weight: Each clip weighs approximately 0.80 kg (1.71 lbs).

4. Hardness: Hardness ranges between 44-48 HRC.

5. Fatigue Life: Designed for a fatigue life of no less than 5 million cycles without breaking for the 20mm diameter clip.

6. Clamping Force: The toe load or "under pressure" is specified as ≥950 kgf (kilogram-force). This contributes to a nominal rail seat clamping force of approximately 5,500 lbs for the assembly.

7. Standards: Conforms to international standards including DIN17221, BS970, and GB/T1222.

8. Surface Treatment: Available in various finishes, including plain oiled, black oxide, color painting, hot-dip galvanization (HDG), or Dacromet coating. 

Key Features of E2009 Pandrol Clip

Self‑Tensioning Elastic Clip

• Made of high‑strength spring steel (typically 60Si2MnA).

• Maintains constant clamping force without threaded components.

• Helps prevent rail movement due to loads, temperature changes, or vibration. 

High Performance Under Load

• Designed to provide clamping forces often in the range of 8–12 kN (typical for E‑clips).

• Excellent fatigue resistance with millions of load cycles before failure. 

Versatile Use

• Suitable for both concrete and wooden sleepers.

• Used across heavy‑haul, passenger, metro, and mixed‑traffic tracks.
