Product Description
Usage of Rail Gauge Rods
Rail gauge rod is a kind of steel member that is used to connect two rails together at the bottom of rails. Rail gauge rod are used to improve the lateral stability of rails and improve the gauge-keeping capacity of the railway track.
Not all sections of the railway track are needed to install the rail gauge rods. Only in the special sections whose curve radius are less than a certain value or in the station yards or in other special areas we need to install the gauge rod.
Classification of Rail Gauge Rods
The insulated gauge tie rod is a special tool for railway rail drilling. It is applicable to a wide range including the maintenance operations. When the card is installed, the installation is accurate and the detachment is quick and fast, which can guarantee the safety of the train driving. It can be processed by the high-speed alloy steel hollow drill. The drilling is short in time with the features of high precision and long service life. The manufacturing machine adopts the spindle cooling structure equipped with high-pressure cooling pot.
In accordance with the different gauge distances, the gauge rods can be divided into 762, 900, 1450 gauge distance, Diameter 20,22,32, 36. The other shaped gauge rods can be custom-made. Usually, the rod is mainly used in switch areas. Its biggest role is to reduce the rail longitudinal stretch to maintain the product gauge. It is a whole rod connecting the two rails. It can do mainly the lateral stability increase of rails and increase to keep the gauge-keeping function of the track.
The rail gauge rods include the following types in China: 18×870, 20×870, 22×880, 22×1050, 24×1050, 24×1250, 28 x 1810, 28×1850,etc.
Function of Rail Gauge Rod
The gauge tie rod is an important part of railway lines. If the rail gauge rod is lack, the gauge can arouse the deviation. The train on the track will cause the train derailment possibly. The consequence will be unbearable to the imagination. In order to ensure the track gauge has no errors, we should use the gauge rod to fix the rails. This is the function of the gauge tie rod.
The rail gauge rod can apply a pair of equal and opposite forces along the axis of the rod shaft, and then the rod will get the axial elongation (or shortened) deformation. This deformation is called axial tension. The axial tension or compression of the rod is called pulling rod or pressing rod. At the rod joints every certain distance the special-shaped reinforced steel bar shall be laid on the central board. Its role is to prevent the expansion of the rail tie plate and the longitudinal seam gap. For the middle part of the gauge tie rod shall be done anti-rusty treatment in the range of 10cm. The size of the rod and its spacing can be selected according to the provisions of the outside distance. The rod joints or the free edge distance is generally 25-35cm.

Maintenance suggestions of railroad gauge rods
(1) Continuous failure of rail brace shall not exceed 1 pair.
(2) Continuous failure of gauge rods shall not exceed 2.
(3) Failure of rail brace and gauge rod shall not occur simultaneously between 6 sleepers.
Based on the calculation and analysis of the stability coefficient of rail tilting in the section with a small radius curve, the maintenance standard suggestions of curve strengthening equipment are put forward.
