Elastic Rail Clip Forged and Heat Treated With Zinc Plating 10mm Thickness
Product Spotlights
Reliable Elastic Rail Clip – Forged, Heat Treated & Zinc Plated
Since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has been a trusted manufacturer of railway fastening components. Our Elastic Rail Clip is forged and heat treated with a zinc plating finish, designed to provide superior clamping force and long-term durability. With an annual export value of US$5-10 million and shipments to over 15 markets worldwide, we deliver products that meet the rigorous demands of modern rail systems. This 10mm thick clip is engineered for high-stress environments, ensuring reliable performance in both heavy-haul and high-speed rail applications.
Product Features & Technical Specifications
- Forged & Heat Treated – The clip undergoes precision forging followed by a controlled heat treatment process to achieve the optimal balance of hardness and elasticity. This ensures consistent clamping force over millions of load cycles.
- Zinc Plating – A uniform zinc coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, extending the service life in humid, coastal, or tunnel environments. Available in electroplated or hot-dip galvanized finishes to suit your specific environment.
- 10mm Thickness – The robust 10mm cross-section delivers high fatigue strength and resistance to deformation, making it suitable for mainline tracks, turnouts, and industrial sidings.
- Elastic Design – The curved geometry ensures a firm grip on the rail base while allowing for thermal expansion and vibration absorption, reducing maintenance frequency.
- Compatibility – Designed to fit standard rail profiles (e.g., 50kg/m, 60kg/m, 75kg/m) and conforms to international standards such as TB/T 1495, UIC 864, or AREMA Chapter 10. Custom clip dimensions and toe loads are available upon request.
- Easy Installation – The clip can be installed manually or with hydraulic tools, reducing labor time and cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What steel grades are used for your elastic rail clips?
A: We typically use high carbon spring steel such as 60Si2Mn or 55Cr3, which provide excellent elasticity and fatigue life. Other grades are available on request. -
Q: Can you provide clips with different toe loads?
A: Yes, the toe load can be adjusted by modifying the clip geometry and heat treatment parameters. Our standard range is 8–12 kN, but we can customize from 5 kN to 15 kN. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for an order?
A: For standard clips, lead time is 20–30 days after order confirmation. Bulk orders or custom designs may require 35–45 days. -
Q: Do you offer samples for testing?
A: Yes, we provide free samples for qualified customers. The buyer only needs to cover the shipping cost. Contact us for details. -
Q: How do you ensure the zinc plating quality?
A: We use a two-step process: pre-treatment (degreasing, pickling) followed by zinc plating. The coating thickness is measured with a magnetic gauge, and we perform a salt spray test (≥72 hours) to confirm corrosion resistance. -
Q: Are your clips compatible with concrete sleepers?
A: Absolutely. Our elastic rail clips are designed for use with both concrete and wooden sleepers, paired with appropriate base plates and shoulders. -
Q: What certifications do you have?
A: Our factory has passed ISO 9001 quality management system certification (third-party audited). We also meet the technical requirements of TB/T 1495, UIC 864, and AREMA standards. Specific certificates can be provided upon request.
