Best Rail Fasteners Solution for Preventing Line Creeping on Railway Tracks

What Is Rail Anchor?

When the train is running, longitudinal force often acts on the rails, causing the rails to move longitudinally, and sometimes even driving the sleepers to move together. This longitudinal movement is called creeping. Creeping generally occurs in the section of double-track railway lines and single-track railways, where heavy-loaded vehicles are guided on ramps and parked and braked.

Line creeping is often caused by uneven track gauges, skewed sleepers, etc., which damages the line and even derails the vehicle, endangering driving safety. Therefore, effective measures must be taken to prevent creeping, and rail anchoring is usually used to prevent line creeping.

Rail Anchor Can Prevent Railway Line Crawling

Track creep - Due to the longitudinal action of the train during operation, the rails move longitudinally and even drive the sleepers. This phenomenon is called track creep.
Hazards of track creep - Uneven rail gaps and crooked sleepers can cause great damage to the track and endanger driving safety.
Anti-climbing measures - Install rail anchors.

Rules for applying rail anchors

How to install rail anchors? There are general rules for applying rail anchors:
Rail anchors should be placed on the gauge side of the rail base against the same sleeper face of the opposite rail.
The rail anchor should hold the rail base tight and securely and have full bearing against the sleeper face.
If the bearing of the rail anchor against the sleeper is disturbed, a new rail anchor and sleeper are required.
Rail anchors cannot be moved by driving them along the steel rail.
The sleeper must be kept straight when applying the anchor.
