Features
Railway tie rod is a critical component used in railway tracks to maintain the alignment, gauge, and stability of the rails. It is a metal rod that connects two rails or rail components, providing structural support and ensuring the track remains securely in place under the dynamic forces exerted by passing trains. Tie rods are commonly used in curved tracks, switches, and other areas where additional reinforcement is needed to prevent rail spread or misalignment.

Maintenance and Inspection
Regular Inspections
Visual checks for loosening, wear, or damage.
Re-tightening
Ensure tie rods are tightened to the correct torque during maintenance.
Replacement
Replace tie rods if they show signs of fatigue, corrosion, or damage.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Use ultrasonic testing or magnetic particle inspection to detect internal defects.
