Other technical parameters
In addition to the diameter and length, the railway gauge rod also has some other important technical parameters, such as weight, adjustable parts, applicable rail type, etc. For example, the weight of the 32×1810 gauge tie rod is usually 16kg, the adjustable part is the head rail clamp, and the applicable rail type is 38 or 43.
Material and classification
Railway gauge tie rods are usually made of ordinary steel or insulating materials. According to the material can be divided into ordinary switch rod and insulated switch rod two categories. When the insulated switch rod is used in the railway circuit, it has the function of preventing current from passing through.
