Rail Fastenings Systems

Fastclip Baseplate

A fastening assembly which provides a captive Pandrol Fastclip rail fastening system designed for slab track applications.

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, with few additional components required. The system is designed for efficient installation and maintenance to offer railway operators maximized rail infrastructure ‘up-time’.

Technical Features

  • The Fastclip Baseplate provides vertical adjustment up to +70 mm, by means of fitting shims underneath the assembly
  • The Fastclip Baseplate provides lateral adjustments in the range of +/-12 mm per assembly (or +/-24 mm on track gauge)
  • Available in low toe load or zero longitudinal restraint (ZLR) configurations for use on bridge and viaduct structures
  • The Fastclip Baseplate has been developed to provide a stiffness characteristic that results in low rolling noise

Advantages

  • Designed for high levels of mechanisation and automation through track installation and maintenance, delivering faster maintenance and high levels of adjustment
  • There is no limit on the size of increment in which lateral adjustments can be made within the +/12 mm range. Absolute lateral position of the rails can be set at both the track build stage and also during track maintenance activities
  • Vertical adjustments can usually be made without the need to disassemble the fastening system fully. Loosening the anchors is sufficient to allow all but very large adjustments to be made simply
