Railway rail shoulder, also called rail iron shoulder, rail fastenings inserts, railroad shoulder insert, railway cast-in anchor, it is semi-embedded in the concrete rail ties to fix the elastic rail clips to the tie plates. Gnee Rail mainly provides different types Casting Rail Shoulders to meet customers'requirements.

Rail shoulder is a pre-inserted item in the concrete sleepers, no matter for single stem type or twin stem type, used to fix the elastic rail clips, mainly e-clips, within the fastening system. Cast in Shoulder is made by casting from iron, and such shoulder is used by being pre-embedded in the concrete sleepers and works with the elastic clip to fasten the rail. For materials, cast in shoulder includes 3 types: M.C.I. shoulder by malleable iron and S.G.C.I. shoulder by malleable iron and S.G.C.I. shoulder by spheroid graphite iron.
Notes on rail shoulders
The weld-on shoulder fastening makes it possible to manufacture the rails retaining units on the steel sleeper and the steel base plate when the E-shaped rail clamp is used for rail fastening.
Even if the cast-in shoulders are usually embedded in the concrete rail sleeper, they can be welded to a longer length of the steel track section or bearers for the manufacture of switches and cross arrangements using vertical rail geometries.
The welding capacity of the rail shoulders is determined by the layout design, which makes the railroad shoulder more useful and cost-effective. The rail shoulder accessories for a particular rail section shall be used in accordance with the design criteria to achieve proper elastic chuck toe loading. And certain rail shoulder with a milling area need to be provides to achieve better weld integrity.
Rail Shoulder Applications:
The weld on shoulder fastening makes the fabrication of rail retaining units on both steel sleepers and steel base plates possible when the E style of elastic rail clips are used for the fasting of the rail. Even though the rail cast in shoulder are usually pressed in the concrete sleeper, it also can be welded on to longer length steel sleeper sections or bearers for use in the fabrication of switch and crossing layouts where vertical rail geometry is employed.
The welding ability of rail shoulders in particular position which is dictated by layout design makes rail shoulders much useful and cost effective. Rail shoulder accessories used for specific rail sections should be adopted according to design criteria in order to achieve the correct elastic clip toe loading . And certain rail shoulders with milled weld area faces are provided to achieve a better weld integrity.
We can produce rail shoulder for different dimentional sizes. We manufacture different types of rail shoulder and provide any type of mechanical properties and chemical compositions. Welcome to choose rail shoulder from Gnee Rail.
