What Is The Correct Way To Use A Temporary Rail Clamp?

The temporary rail clamp is a device used for emergency repair of rail defects. It can quickly and effectively repair rail defects such as cracks and peeling.

First, let us understand the types of temporary rail clamps. According to different usage methods, temporary rail clamps can be divided into two types: handheld and vehicle-mounted. Hand-held rail clamps are suitable for small-scale, simple repair work, while vehicle-mounted rail clamps are suitable for larger-scale, complex repair tasks.

Next, we will focus on how to use the rail clamps. Using a rail clamp requires the following steps:

Preparation work: Before using the rail clamp, the following preparations need to be made. First, make sure the rail surface is clean, smooth, and free of oil, water stains and other impurities. Secondly, according to the repair needs, select the appropriate type of rail clamp and prepare the corresponding tools and materials, such as wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers, sandpaper, glue, etc.

Fixed rail clamp: The temporary rail clamp is fixed on the rail, usually using bolts, wires and other fixing materials. Make sure the rail first aid fits tightly with the rail to avoid falling off or moving during the repair process.

Adjust the repair device: According to the type of defect, select the appropriate repair device, such as thimbles, scrapers, wrenches, etc. Adjust the size and strength of the repair device to match the rail surface.

Start the repair: Place the repair device on the rail defect, then start the temporary rail clamp, slowly apply pressure, and repair the defects one by one. During this process, you need to stay focused and observe the repair situation at any time to avoid over-repair or incomplete repair.

Check the repair effect: After the repair is completed, check whether the rail surface is smooth and flat, with no remaining defects. If the repair effect is good, the rail first aid can be removed after simple cleaning.
