Railway Screw Spike M23 x 105

The railway screw spike M23 x 105 is a type of lag screw (also known as a sleeper screw or rail screw) used in railway construction to fasten base plates to wooden sleepers (ties) or, in combination with a plastic dowel, to concrete sleepers. It is also known as a Tirafondos Tipo A0 or lag screw.

Key Characteristics

• Dimensions: The specification "M23 x 105" indicates a metric screw spike with a nominal diameter of 23mm and a length of 105mm.

• Function: Its primary function is to secure the rail fastening system and maintain the correct track gauge, preventing vertical and lateral movement of the rail.

• Material and Grade: These spikes are typically made from carbon steel materials such as Q235 or 35# steel, with common grades including 4.6 and 5.6. High-tensile strength options are also available.

• Head Type: The head shape varies depending on the specific standard and the type of spanner or tool used for installation and removal, such as square or hexagon heads.

• Standards: Manufacturers produce M23 x 105 screw spikes to meet various international standards, including BS, ASTM, DIN, UIC, and NF F50-006, among others.

• Surface Finish: Common finishes include plain (oiled), black oxide, hot-dip galvanized (HDG), or sherardized coatings to provide corrosion resistance. 

Usage

Screw spikes are installed by being screwed into a pre-drilled hole in the sleeper. This design provides significant pull-out resistance compared to traditional cut spikes.
