Railroad Sole Plate

According to the different manufacturing process and use, sole plate can be divided into a variety of types, such as casting, forging and rolling. Different types of sole plates may differ in terms of material, strength and durability.

The specifications of the sole plate are usually determined according to the railway gauge, rail type and sleeper size. The length of the common sole plate varies from tens of centimeters to more than one meter, and the width and thickness are also designed according to specific needs.

The sole plate is generally flat and smooth, so as to fit closely with the rail and sleeper. Its edges and center may be designed with holes or grooves for easy installation and securing.

The sole plate has the characteristics of high strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and can withstand the huge pressure and vibration during train operation. At the same time, it also has a certain degree of elasticity and toughness, which can absorb and alleviate the impact and vibration generated when the train passes through to a certain extent.
