Function of Railway Sleeper Plates
Features
Bear and transfer loads
Sleeper plate can bear a variety of loads from the rail, including vertical loads, transverse forces and longitudinal horizontal forces, and evenly transfer it to the track bed to protect the roadbed from damage.
Fixed rail position
The sleeper plate will closely connect the two rail, fix its position, maintain a certain gauge, and ensure the stability and safety of the train.
Distributed wheel load
The load generated when the wheel rolls is transferred to the sleeper plate through the rail, and the sleeper plate then distributes the load to a wider subgrade, reducing the local pressure on the subgrade.
Reduce vibration and noise
Sleeper plate has certain elasticity and damping performance, which can absorb the vibration and noise generated when the wheel is rolling, and improve the comfort of the train.
