As a manufacturer with over 25 years of expertise in railway fastening components, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory is proud to offer the Elastic Rail Clip Type III 60Si2Mn 14mm Wire Diameter Heat Treated HRC 44-48. Our factory, established in 1998 and located in Hengshui, Hebei, China, combines advanced production techniques with strict quality control to deliver reliable rail clips that ensure safe and stable track performance. With an annual export value exceeding US$5 million, we have served clients across North America, South America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Oceania, providing customized solutions for diverse railway applications.
This Type III elastic rail clip is engineered from high-quality 60Si2Mn spring steel, offering excellent fatigue resistance and elasticity. The 14mm wire diameter undergoes precise heat treatment to achieve a hardness range of HRC 44-48, ensuring optimal clamping force and long service life under dynamic loads. Designed for standard rail fastening systems, it effectively absorbs vibrations, maintains gauge alignment, and reduces maintenance costs for railway operators.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material Excellence: 60Si2Mn spring steel provides superior yield strength and elasticity, withstanding repeated stress without permanent deformation.
- Precision Heat Treatment: Controlled quenching and tempering process ensures uniform hardness of HRC 44-48 across the entire clip, enhancing wear resistance and durability.
- 14mm Wire Diameter: Optimized cross-section delivers consistent clamping force for heavy-haul and high-speed rail lines.
- Type III Design: Matches international standard dimensions for interoperability with common rail bases and insulators.
- Surface Treatment Options: Standard black oxide finish resists corrosion; oiled or other coatings available upon request.
- Rigorous Quality Control: Every batch undergoes dimensional inspection, hardness testing, and fatigue testing to ensure compliance with industry requirements.

The Elastic Rail Clip Type III is specifically designed to provide a secure and resilient connection between the rail and the sleeper. Its unique geometry ensures that the clip maintains constant toe load even under temperature fluctuations and heavy traffic, reducing the risk of rail creep and track buckling. Compared to traditional rigid fastenings, this elastic clip minimizes stress concentrations, extends the service life of rails and sleepers, and lowers overall maintenance costs.
Benefits for Railway Operators:
- Enhanced safety through reliable gauge retention and reduced rail rollover.
- Lower lifecycle costs due to extended clip service life (typically 3–5 times longer than conventional clips).
- Easy installation and replacement – compatible with standard manual or hydraulic tools.
- Vibration damping properties improve ride comfort and reduce noise pollution.
- Customizable surface treatment to match specific environmental conditions (e.g., coastal, desert, or cold regions).
Our factory’s decades of experience in metal processing enable us to consistently produce clips with tight dimensional tolerances (±0.5mm on critical dimensions). We use advanced CNC wire bending machines and automated heat treatment furnaces to ensure uniformity across large volumes. Each production batch is sampled and tested for hardness, elasticity, and fatigue life before shipment.
With a dedicated R&D team, we can also develop custom clips for non-standard rail profiles or special loading requirements. Our flexible manufacturing capacity allows us to handle orders from small prototypes to full container loads, with lead times typically ranging from 15 to 30 days depending on quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between Type III and other elastic rail clip types?
A: Type III clips have a specific geometry and clamping force range suitable for standard UIC60 or similar rail profiles. They offer a balance of elasticity and strength, making them widely used in mainline and heavy-haul applications. Type I and Type II differ in dimensions and load ratings.
Q2: Can this clip be used in high-speed rail lines?
A: Yes, the 60Si2Mn material with HRC 44-48 hardness provides excellent fatigue resistance for high-frequency dynamic loads. However, we recommend consulting our technical team for specific speed and load requirements to ensure compatibility.
Q3: What is the typical clamping force of this clip?
A: The clamping force (toe load) for a 14mm wire diameter Type III clip is approximately 8–10 kN when installed correctly. The exact value depends on the rail base and insulator used. We can provide detailed force-deflection curves upon request.
Q4: Do you offer samples for testing?
A: Yes, we provide free samples for qualified buyers. You only need to cover shipping costs. Sample lead time is typically 5–7 working days.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces. For trial orders or specific requirements, we can negotiate smaller quantities. Please contact our sales team for details.
Q6: How do you ensure the hardness consistency across a batch?
A: We use a continuous heat treatment furnace with precise temperature control. Each clip is sampled from different positions of the furnace batch, and hardness is tested using Rockwell C scale. Our process capability index (Cpk) is above 1.33 for hardness.
Q7: Can the surface treatment be customized for corrosive environments?
A: Yes. In addition to black oxide, we offer hot-dip galvanized, Dacromet, or zinc-nickel coating options. These are recommended for coastal or chemical-rich areas. Please specify your environment when ordering.
Q8: What is the expected service life of this clip?
A: Under normal track conditions, the clip can last 10–15 years without significant loss of clamping force. Proper installation and regular maintenance further extend its life. We have records of clips exceeding 20 years in moderate traffic lines.
