Types of gauge baffles and selection points

As a railway accessory, the gauge baffle plays a very important role in railway turnouts just like other types of parts. The main function of the gauge baffle is to adjust the gauge and transmit the horizontal thrust of the rail. Therefore, the gauge baffle can not only realize the reliability and stability of the railway turnout, but also ensure the elasticity and rigidity of the normal operation of the track.
Gauge baffles are steel products with special-shaped sections, which are mainly produced by hot rolling. The production process is relatively complicated and the operation technology level is relatively high. As one of the gauge baffles, the insulating gauge baffle is one of the key components of the high-speed railway fastening system. The high-speed train running on the track will have a very dynamic effect, making the high-speed train ride more comfortable and safer. The insulating gauge baffle puts forward higher requirements, requiring the insulating gauge baffle to have high strength.
In addition to insulating gauge baffles, there are other types of gauge baffles. However, as a user, when selecting gauge baffles, don’t just blindly consider the price and brand of the gauge baffles, but also pay attention to the material of the gauge baffles and whether the model meets the requirements. In addition, in order to ensure that the quality of the gauge baffle is qualified, it is necessary to check whether the surface of the gauge baffle is smooth, whether the scale and burrs are cleaned up, and that there should be no protrusions on each contact surface. If it is, it should be processed as soon as possible, and two pits with a depth exceeding 2mm are not allowed on the same surface.
