The SS36 railway screw spike is a type of rail fastener used to secure rails or base plates to wooden or concrete sleepers, known for its high strength and durability. It typically has a square or hexagonal head.
The SS36 railway screw spike is a threaded spike designed to secure rails to wooden or composite ties in rail systems. The SS36 designation refers to a specific type or standard of screw spike used for securing rails in wooden tie systems. These spikes are commonly used in both freight and passenger rail applications due to their superior vibration resistance, strength, and durability.
The primary function of the SS36 screw spike is to provide a strong and stable connection in the railway track system.
Fastening: It is inserted into pre-bored holes in the sleeper (sometimes with a plastic dowel in concrete sleepers) to securely fasten the rail or base plate, ensuring the steel rail remains in the correct position.
Durability: The use of high-quality steel and specific manufacturing processes like thread rolling and heat treatment ensures durability, excellent strength, and resistance to impact and heavy loads.
System Compatibility: SS36 screw spikes are used with various rail fastening systems, including those that use Uls7 washers or are part of specific systems like the SKL14.
SS36 screw spikes are suitable for a wide range of rail applications, including:
High-Speed Rail Systems: The superior vibration resistance and holding power of SS36 screw spikes make them ideal for high-speed passenger rail systems, where track stability and precision are critical for safety and performance.
Freight Rail Systems: In heavy-duty freight systems, where rails are subjected to heavy axle loads and constant vibration, SS36 screw spikes ensure that the rail remains securely fastened, maintaining track alignment and safety.
Industrial Rail Systems: For industrial rail tracks used in mines, ports, and factories, SS36 screw spikes provide a reliable and durable solution to secure the rails in harsh conditions.
Maintenance and Upgrades: For track repairs or upgrades, SS36 screw spikes offer an easy-to-install solution that can help restore the stability and safety of existing track systems.
Wooden and Composite Ties: SS36 screw spikes can be used in both wooden and composite tie systems, offering versatility in different rail track configurations.
The SS36 railway screw spike offers a reliable, durable, and vibration-resistant solution for fastening rails to wooden ties in rail track systems. Designed for heavy-duty rail systems, high-speed lines, and industrial rail applications, SS36 screw spikes provide superior holding power, track stability, and long-term performance under challenging conditions.
Whether you need track repair or new installation, SS36 screw spikes deliver the security, durability, and performance required to ensure that rail systems remain safe, stable, and operational for years to come.
