A resilient track support system developed to attenuate the wheel/rail contact-induced vibrations, which are transferred from the rail to the supporting structure.
Intended for applications where very good vibration reduction is required
Designed for long life – all parts are fully accessible and replaceable, enabling repair that does not require replacement of the complete unit
Provides exceptionally wide adjustment, typically between +/- 15 mm lateral per baseplate, and +30 mm vertical
Features double electrical insulation – the rail is insulated from the top plate, and the top plate is insulated from the baseplate by the rubber pads, bushes and line insulators
VIPA SP products are supplied to track sites as fully assembled units
For use on non-ballasted tracks (slab tracks)
VIPA SP assemblies can be installed on timber, steel and concrete supporting structures
Low toe load and zero longitudinal restraint (ZLR) options are available for use on structures
2-hole offset and 4-hole versions are available. The 2-hole offset baseplate is designed for medium axle loads and high speed. The 4-hole baseplate is designed for higher axle loads and tight curves
2-part baseplate system suitable for top-down construction, wet-pour construction, pre-cast concrete and fixing directly to bridge decks
As its name suggests, the assembly fits on a common interface and is fully interchangeable with a range of fastenings, including FCA and DFC.
As its name suggests, the fastening assembly fits on a common interface and is fully interchangeable with a range of fastenings, including FCA and Vanguard.
The product can be pre-assembled and delivered to site captive on the pre-cast element, providing substantial cost savings.
The SD-HH fastening system is quick and efficient to instal with few tools and minimal training.
The modern heavy haul railway is a demanding environment, with high locomotive horsepower, dynamic braking, large rail sections and high mega gross tonnes per year.
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.
The DRS baseplate is a double-resilience e-clip fastening system that is ideal for use on non-ballasted tracks when ground-borne noise and vibration reduction are required.
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.
As rail track technology continues to make major advances to cope with increasing axle weight and tonnage, the steel used for tracks has become purer and harder.
The rail seat assembly is typically made up of two tension clamps (SKL clips) on top of angled guide plates on each side of the rail.
This non-bonded, low-profile system is fully insulated and provides excellent stray current protection.
