Product Description

Plain Surface Cast Iron 5.6 Grade Rail Shoulders are cast directly into concrete ties for the secure fixation of Elastic Rail Clips. These components are essential for maintaining rail gauge and stability.

Manufactured from high-quality pearlitic malleable iron (M.C.I. Inserts) and spheroid graphite iron (S.G.C.I. Inserts), these shoulders provide exceptional durability. We offer two primary designs:

Single Stem Iron Shoulders: Primarily utilized in pre-stressed concrete ties.
Twin Stem Iron Shoulders: Commonly designed for Bi-Block or Twin Block concrete ties.

Our shoulder accessories are engineered for specific rail sections, ensuring correct elastic clip toe loading and long-term track integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Single Stem and Twin Stem shoulders?

Single Stem shoulders are typically used in pre-stressed concrete ties, while Twin Stem shoulders are designed for Bi-Block or Twin Block concrete ties to provide specific anchoring requirements.

Which rail sections are these shoulders compatible with?

They are compatible with a wide range of international standards including UIC54, UIC60, 115RE, BS80lbs, BS100lbs, and various 50kg/60kg rail sections.

What materials are used for the manufacturing of rail shoulders?

We use high-grade ductile iron, specifically QT500-7 (GGG50), QT450-10 (GGG45), and QT400-15 (GGG40), depending on the required mechanical properties.

How is the surface treated to prevent corrosion?

The standard finish is a plain oiled surface. However, black treatment or other anti-rust options can be provided based on specific environmental needs.

Can these shoulders be customized for specific projects?

Yes, shoulders can be produced according to specific customer drawings and technical requirements to ensure precise fitment with the elastic clips used.

What are the main functions of the cast iron shoulder?

The primary function is to anchor the elastic rail clip into the concrete tie, ensuring the rail is held firmly in place, maintaining the gauge, and absorbing vibrations.
