The role of the Fastening System in railways

1. Ensure track stability
The fastening system firmly connects the various parts of the track (such as rail, sleeper, fastener, etc.) together to form a stable overall structure. This stability is essential to resist vibration and impact forces during train operation, ensuring that the train can travel smoothly and safely.

2. Improve train operation safety
Prevent derailment: The fastening system can prevent the rail from displacing or deforming when the train is running, thereby avoiding serious accidents such as train derailment.
Maintaining gauge: Through the fastening system, it is possible to ensure that the gauge between the two rails remains unchanged, which is one of the important conditions for the safe operation of the train.
3. Extend the service life of the track
Fastening systems can effectively reduce wear and loosening between track components, thereby extending the service life of the track. This can not only reduce maintenance costs in the railway sector, but also improve the efficiency and reliability of rail transport.

4. Adapt to complex environments
In different geographical and climatic conditions, fastening systems need to have good adaptability and durability. For example, in cold regions, fastening systems need to be able to resist the effects of low temperatures on material properties; In tropical areas, it is necessary to be able to resist the corrosion of materials in high temperature and humid environments.

5, easy to maintain and replace
A properly designed fastening system should facilitate the railway department to maintain and replace the track. For example, the use of fasteners that are easy to remove and install can greatly simplify maintenance work and improve maintenance efficiency.
