The Function of Insulating Rod
Although it is widely known that there are various types of railway accessories, each serving different functions. Insulated gauge tie rods are an important railway accessory. If the gauge tie rods are severely damaged or missing, there may be a deviation in the track gauge of the line. When the train travels to this section, it can easily derail, and in severe cases, cause the train to overturn, with unimaginable consequences. Therefore, in order to avoid the failure of insulated gauge tie rods, which may affect the normal operation of the railway, it is necessary to carry out daily maintenance work. The maximum allowable number of rail support failures is 1 pair. The maximum allowable continuous failure of gauge tie rods is 2. The failure of rail braces and tie rods shall not occur simultaneously within a span of 6 sleepers.
Insulated gauge tie rods are specialized drilling tools used to enhance the stability of railway rails. The main components include iron clips, fasteners, and two rod bodies. The two rod bodies are connected by joints containing insulating sleeves, and the ends of the two rod bodies and their outer sleeves are mutually matched by a segmented structure. The weight of the insulated track gauge rod is very light, and its volume is also very small. Therefore, it is very convenient to carry when working outdoors. Moreover, it is very convenient and firm to install when in use, with fast installation speed and easy disassembly, which can effectively ensure the safety of vehicle driving. Insulated gauge poles are crucial accessories in railway lines as they protect the track and ensure the safe operation of trains. The designer of the insulated gauge rod is quite reasonable. Its structure is very simple, its performance is safe and reliable, and its installation is also very convenient. Therefore, its application field is very wide, and it can be used in railway lines, construction sites in the construction industry, and circuit sections.
