Pandrol Fastclip is an established, highly-regarded resilient, threadless rail fastening. Over the years, the Fastclip family has grown to include the FC, FD, FE Fastclip products, each of which has been designed to meet the technical and commercial demands of a specific area.
Fastclip allows for independent movement of the rail in different directions, reducing wear. This is achieved by separating the electrical insulators into two pieces, one on the side of the rail foot and the other on top of it.
Lateral adjustments on the FD systems can be made quickly and easily with the rail in situ. To swap the rail insulations, the clips simply need to be moved to the ‘insulator change’ position.
Fastclip assembly stiffness can be configured easily by changing the design or material used for the rail pad to adjust the overall track stiffness.
Fastclip is suitable for use on either pre-cast concrete or steel sleepers. Different designs of shoulders are available to suit the requirements of specific applications.
Rail Insulators are available in a range of thicknesses, enabling the gauge to be adjusted by simply swapping the insulator.
Suitable for use on Light Rail, Metro, Main Line and High Speed tracks, the Fastclip FCA system can be pre-assembled and delivered to site captive on the pre-cast element.
The baseplate offers a very large range of both vertical and lateral adjustment in a configuration where these adjustments can be made very quickly and easily and with a minimum of additional components required.
Pandrol’s Fastclip FE RR rail fastening system is designed specifically for extreme heavy haul applications. It is suitable for an axle load of up to 40 tonnes and curve radius down to 150 metres.
