Fastening Systems

PRIME FS-300S

System 300-S rail fastening system with SKL-15 clamp is designed & developed in India and compliant with Category-B and Category-C of EN 13481-5 Standard, with a maximum permissible axle load of 26 tons. This direct fastening system transfers load efficiently to base structure, putting less loads on the spike anchor and with large base pad performs on par with indirect fastenings. 

The canted cellular base plate is profiled to hold the rubber pads in position under vibrations and the clamps in rest and fix position. Base plate accommodates the eccentric angle guide bush (AGB), which transfers transverse loads to surrounding confined concrete through wide mouth dowel (WMD) and has an in-built provision to adjust the gauge up to ± 5mm in service and to lock the gauge in place and the rail alignment. Eccentric bush does away with multiple sizes of AGPs and failure-prone concrete humps required in other type of 300 systems, thus reducing inventory and complicated geometry of track structure.

O-Clip (PR-O1)

Current Innovation improves exiting elastic rail clips / clamps performance by providing extra support from an extension leg for lift / rotational resistance. By providing extension leg, O-clip utilizes almost entire length for energy absorption when rail lifts due to wheel forces and thus optimally engineered. O-Clip is engineered with one end with bulged head to have self-lock against loosening from insert. Further, Integrated Liner and insulator is designed along with O-Clip provides insulation between rail and rail seat plus provides high compression (toe load) required to hold rail over elastomer in position.

PR-90 Fastening System

In PR-90 Clip, 90 stands for 90 degree rotation of clip for the parking and the assembly positions in a single action, unlike in conventional clips with two operations – lift and movement of clip front and back. This results it more amenable for mechanized operation and save in traffic block time for installation and renewal of track.
