Product Overview
The forged spring rail clip is a critical component in railway track fastening systems, designed to secure rails to sleepers while allowing necessary elastic deflection. Our clip features a 13mm rod diameter, hot dip galvanized finish for superior corrosion resistance, and is compatible with standard gauge tracks (1435mm). The forging process ensures high strength and consistent performance, reducing maintenance frequency and extending track life.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: High-quality forged carbon steel (Grade 55Si2Mn or equivalent), heat-treated for optimal elasticity and fatigue resistance.
- Diameter: 13mm ±0.3mm, ensuring consistent clamping force across all clips.
- Surface Finish: Hot dip galvanized (average coating thickness ≥85μm per ASTM A123), providing excellent protection against rust and environmental corrosion.
- Gauge Compatibility: Designed for standard gauge (1435mm) rail tracks, suitable for mainline, branch line, and industrial railway applications.
- Elasticity: Spring deflection range of 10-15mm under working load, effectively absorbing vibration and reducing track deformation.
- Installation: Easy to install with standard rail clip tools; no special equipment required.
- Durability: Service life of 8-10 years under normal operating conditions, thanks to robust forging and galvanization.

Why Choose Our Forged Spring Rail Clip?
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Hot dip galvanizing provides a thick, uniform zinc layer that withstands harsh weather, salt spray, and chemical exposure, making it ideal for coastal and humid environments.
- Consistent Quality: Every clip undergoes rigorous dimensional inspection and random hardness testing to ensure batch-to-batch uniformity.
- Cost-Effective: Forged steel offers higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to cast clips, reducing material usage and transportation costs while maintaining performance.
- Easy Maintenance: The spring design allows quick replacement without removing the rail or sleeper, minimizing track downtime.
- Global Compatibility: Designed to fit standard gauge sleepers and rail bases (e.g., UIC60, 54E1, 50E2), widely used in railway systems worldwide.
- Customizable Options: Available in different diameters (10mm, 12mm, 14mm) and finishes (black oxide, plain) upon request.

What is the service life of this rail clip?
Under normal operating conditions (clean environment, proper installation), the clip can last 8-10 years. The hot dip galvanized coating provides excellent protection against rust, extending the life even in moderate corrosion environments. -
Is this clip compatible with international rail profiles?
Yes, it is designed for standard gauge tracks and fits common rail bases such as UIC60, 54E1, and 50E2. However, we recommend confirming the sleeper plate dimensions with our technical team before ordering. -
Can you provide samples for testing?
Absolutely. We offer free samples (shipping cost paid by buyer) for qualified customers. Please contact us with your requirements. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ is 10,000 pieces for stock items. For custom sizes or special finishes, MOQ may vary. Please inquire for details. -
How is the clip packaged for export?
Clips are packed in pallets with steel strapping and shrink wrap, typically 500-1000 pieces per pallet. Custom packaging (e.g., wooden cases, small boxes) is available upon request. -
Do you have any certifications?
We follow strict internal quality control procedures. For specific certifications required by your market, please discuss with our sales team – we can arrange third-party testing if needed. -
What is the lead time for bulk orders?
For standard 13mm hot dip galvanized clips, lead time is 15-20 days after order confirmation and deposit. Larger quantities or custom orders may take 25-30 days. -
