Products Parameters
Technical Specification of W14HH Fastening system
- Ideal for heavy haul operations, this system is optimized for use with concrete sleepers on ballasted tracks.
- Capable of handling an axle load of up to 350kN,
- and supporting speeds reaching a maximum of 160km/h.
- The system boasts high longitudinal rail resistance, not less than 9kN,
- and electrical resistance is guaranteed at or above 5 kΩ.
- The SKL14R clips deliver a reliable nominal clamping force of 11.5 kN,
- with gauge adjustments possible within a broad range of ±10 mm.
- Additionally, for enhanced durability, an optional anti-abrasion pad can be integrated to significantly reduce fastener wear.
- All system components are conveniently pre-assembled at the sleeper manufacturing facility,
The complete W14HH fastening system for each sleeper is comprised of the following essential components:
4 pcs of robust screw spikes DHS35-161,
4 pcs of durable flat washers UIs7,
4 pcs of resilient rail clips SKL14R,
4 pcs of precise guide plates Wfp14K700R,
4 pcs of sturdy plastic dowels SDU25,
and 2 pcs of reliable rail pads Zw141/175/7.
The W14HH type rail fastening system is crafted specifically for heavy haul rail applications, capable of handling a maximum axle load of 350 kN.
A complete set includes 4 pcs of SKL14R rail clips, 4 pcs of DHS35 sleeper screws with UIs7 flat washers, 4 pcs of Wfp-12 700R guide plates, 4 pcs of SDU25 plastic dowels, and 2 pcs of Zw141/175/7 rail pads.
