As a major railway country, different types of railways are laid on different sections to facilitate the operation of vehicles on different sections. In order to facilitate the use of auxiliary railways, many railway accessories such as track clamps are used. The emergence of track pressure plates reduces the damage caused to the rails by impact, but it is also necessary to lay the track pressure plates properly during use in order to fully utilize their performance advantages. Let's take a look at the installation points of track pressure plates.
The track pressure plate adopts an adjustable combination track pressure plate to overcome the faults that occurred in the use of traditional track pressure plates. Traditional pressure plates often directly press the track steel against the steel during use, and reliable contact between the pressure plate and the track cannot be guaranteed after installation. Some pressure plates cannot be adjusted horizontally after installation, which makes them easy to wear out after normal loading or longitudinal movement of the track caused by thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in loosening of the pressure plate bolts, rotation of the pressure plate, surface wear and rail gnawing, and in severe cases, rail breakage. This can also affect the wear of the main locomotive wheels and damage to the driving mechanism. When using an adjustable combination track pressure plate, the track can be fixed in the horizontal direction and the track position can be adjusted horizontally. For example, the QU80 pressure plate allows for a lateral adjustment spacing of 15mm for the track. The QU120 pressure plate allows for a lateral adjustment spacing of 20mm for the track. And it has a self-locking function, which can reliably fix the track and prevent it from deviating when subjected to large wheel pressure. Use elastic force to fix the track in the vertical direction. Hot rubber tongue is used on the track pressure head, and the tongue is made of wear-resistant, oil resistant, high-temperature resistant, and corrosion-resistant synthetic rubber.
In summary, the key points for installing track pressure plates are as follows. Only by understanding these can their performance advantages be better utilized in future practical applications. Our company offers various types of track pressure plates, and the occurrence of track pressure plate failure in practical applications is rare. Whether it is transportation or storage, the maintenance of the track pressure plate should be done well to prevent damage to the track pressure plate from affecting its normal use in the later stage,
