Rail Screw Spike

Send Inquiry

Features

Rail screw spike (also known as a rail screw or screw spike) is a type of fastener used to secure rails to wooden sleepers (ties) in railway tracks. Unlike traditional rail spikes, which are driven into the sleeper with a hammer, screw spikes are threaded and screwed into the sleeper, providing a more secure and durable connection. They are widely used in railway construction and maintenance due to their superior holding power and resistance to loosening over time.

Competitive advantage

Superior Holding Power

The threaded design ensures a strong and secure connection, reducing the risk of loosening.

Resistance to Vibration

Less likely to loosen due to train vibrations, making them ideal for high-traffic or high-speed lines.

Ease of Installation

Can be installed quickly and efficiently using manual or powered tools.

Reusability

Can be removed and reused if necessary, reducing waste and costs.

Durability

Resists wear, corrosion, and environmental degradation, ensuring a long service life.

Design

Threaded shank for secure attachment to wooden sleepers. Hexagonal or square head for easy installation using a wrench or specialized tools. May include a washer or flange to distribute the load and prevent damage to the sleeper.

Material

Typically made from high-strength steel or alloy steel to withstand heavy loads and environmental conditions. Often coated with anti-corrosion treatments, such as galvanizing or epoxy, to enhance durability.

Installation

Screwed into pre-drilled holes in the sleeper using manual or powered tools. Provides a tighter and more reliable connection compared to traditional driven spikes.
