Railway fastening system naming factors
nomenclature
Basic Name
The basic name of a fastener system usually reflects its structural characteristics or main components. For example, the "snap bar" fastening system is named after its main component, and the "snap plate" fastening system is primarily characterized by the snap plate.
Model or number
In order to distinguish between different fastener systems or different models in the same series, a type or number is usually added. These numbers may be alphabetic (such as E1609, E1806, etc., in the E series) or numerical (such as W300-1a, W-300-lu, etc., in the Model 300 clip fastening system).
Special identification
Some fastener systems may also contain special identification to reflect their specific performance or application scenario. For example, the "Plate on Bridge track fastening System" clearly indicates its application to plate track structures on Bridges.
