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.
Gnee Rail Clips
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.
