Rail elastic clip is used to fasten the rails to the underlying base plate together with the concrete sleeper. Usually rail clips are made of forged spring steel which is produced by hot forging process. Because of the uniform microstructure of forged clips, it is considered to be better than other metal forming process.
Approved by China's Railway Ministry and certified by ISO9001-2008 and SGS authorities, Gnee manufactures and supplies elastic rail clips of excellent properties covering complete types and standards. Using optimum spring steel as raw material, the finished products show high tensile strength and corrosion resistance after a series of precise processing procedures. The elastic rail clips we produced can withstand bending, torsion, fatigue corrosion, and many other effects. Owing to the biggest production base, our production capacity is up to 5,000,000 pieces.

The importance of rail clips in railway tracks cannot be understated. Without them, the rails would move, leading to derailments and other accidents. Rail clips ensure that the rails remain firmly in place, even when subjected to various forces such as vibrations and changes in temperature.
In conclusion, rail clips are a vital component of railway track systems that ensure their safety and stability. As the railway industry continues to evolve, future trends in rail clip technology will likely focus on improving durability, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing efficiency and safety in railway track systems.
