The E2009 rail clip is a crucial component of the Pandrol e-Clip rail fastening system, known for providing durable, elastic clamping with excellent creep and twisting resistance. It is made from high-strength spring steel and is used globally to secure rail tracks to sleepers.
Material: Typically manufactured from spring steel grades such as 60Si2MnA, 60Si2CrA, 55Si2Mn, or 38Si7.
Diameter: The nominal bar diameter is 20 mm (approximately 25/32 inches).
Weight: Each clip weighs approximately 0.80 kg (0.62 kg in some variations).
Hardness: Hardness ranges between 44-48 HRC.
Fatigue Life: Designed for a fatigue life of no less than 5 million cycles without breaking for the 20mm diameter clip.
Clamping Force: The toe load or "under pressure" is specified as ≥950 kgf (kilogram-force).
Standards: Conforms to international standards including DIN17221, BS970, and GB/T1222.
Surface Treatment: Available in various finishes, including plain oiled, black oxide, color painting, hot-dip galvanizing, or Dacromet coating.
The E2009 rail clip is part of a complete fastening assembly designed for either concrete or wooden sleepers. A single rail seat assembly typically includes:
Two E-clips: One for each side of the rail foot.
Two Rail Shoulders/Lugs: These are usually cast into the concrete sleeper or are part of a baseplate/tie plate, providing the anchor point for the clip.
One Rail Pad: A resilient pad placed between the rail and the baseplate/sleeper to reduce vibration and absorb impact.
Two Rail Insulators: Used in electrified systems to provide electrical isolation between the rail and the clips.
