noise reduction capabilities
| Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Elastic Fastening | Uses elastic clips (SKL clips) to absorb vibrations and shocks. | Reduces noise from rail-wheel interaction and track vibrations. |
| Vibration Damping | Absorbs and dissipates vibrations caused by train movements. | Minimizes rolling noise, especially low-frequency noise. |
| Secure Rail Fixation | Ensures rails are firmly held in place, preventing loose contact. | Reduces impact noise caused by gaps or irregularities in the track. |
| Insulating Components | Includes rail pads or insulators to dampen vibrations and reduce noise. | Prevents metal-to-metal contact, further reducing noise transmission. |
| Smooth Track Geometry | Maintains proper track alignment and stability. | Reduces noise caused by rail corrugation or uneven wear. |
| Applications | Urban transit, high-speed railways, residential areas, tunnels. | Ideal for noise-sensitive environments and high-traffic rail systems. |
| Environmental Impact | Reduces noise emissions, making railways more eco-friendly. | Helps comply with noise regulations and improves community relations. |
| Passenger Comfort | Provides a quieter and smoother ride for passengers. | Enhances the overall travel experience. |
| Maintenance Benefits | Reduces wear and tear caused by noise-related vibrations. | Lowers long-term maintenance costs. |
