Fastening System Improved Track Stability

The elastic clips in the SKL system apply a consistent clamping force to hold the rail firmly in place.

This prevents lateral (side-to-side) and longitudinal (front-to-back) movement of the rail, ensuring it stays in the correct position even under heavy loads or temperature changes.

The elastic nature of the fastening system absorbs vibrations and shocks caused by passing trains.

This reduces the impact of dynamic forces on the track, preventing misalignment and maintaining stability over time.

Rail creep is the gradual movement of rails along the track, often caused by thermal expansion or the forces exerted by trains.

The SKL system's secure fastening minimizes rail creep, ensuring the rails remain in their proper position.

The system distributes the load from the rails evenly across the sleepers (ties) and ballast.

This prevents localized stress points that could lead to track deformation or instability.

The SKL system is designed to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the rails due to temperature changes.

This prevents buckling in hot weather and gaps in cold weather, maintaining track stability in all conditions.

The system allows for adjustments during installation and maintenance, ensuring precise alignment and gauge.

This adjustability helps maintain track stability over the long term.
