Definition and Working Principle
Definition
A rail joint gap adjuster is used to adjust the gaps between rail joints to ensure they meet safety standards.
Working Principle
It utilizes a hydraulic system or manual adjustment mechanism to control the movement of the push rod, thereby adjusting the size and position of the rail gap.
Main Components
Adjuster Body
Made of cast iron or aluminum alloy, with a bearing in the center and an adjustment handle.
Movable Base
Made of stainless steel, providing support and adjusting the relative position of the adjuster body.
Adjustment Handle
Fixed to the bearing through a threaded hole, can be rotated to adjust the rail gap.
Locking Screw
Used to fix the movable base and adjuster body.
Advantages of Chain Sprockets

FAQ
Q: What is the purpose of a Rail Gap Adjuster?
A: It maintains consistent expansion gaps between rail segments to prevent buckling (in heat) or joint damage (in cold), ensuring track safety and longevity.
Q: What's the typical lifespan of your adjusters?
A: 15–20 years with proper maintenance, depending on load frequency and environmental conditions (e.g., salt exposure reduces lifespan).
Q: Do you offer customization?
A: Absolutely. Adjustable ranges, materials (e.g., stainless steel for corrosive environments), and coatings can be tailored.
