Shoulder Face Repair Shim
Pandrol has developed and has a patent pending on a stainless steel shim for replacing worn shoulders in track. When epoxied onto worn shoulders and used with custom designed insulators, track gauge can be restored. This repair procedure renews tie life and eliminates the need for tie replacement.
PANDROL® SAFELOK I Long Reach Clip
PANDROL® Long Reach SAFELOK I clips provide a fastener that extends 1/2 inch further on the rail base and generates a slightly higher toe load. This longer reach SAFELOK I fastener has been developed as a safety feature to ensure clip retention and increase holding capabilities on high degree curves where shoulder wear and insulator wear are more prevalent.
ANTI-ABRASION PAD AND INSULATOR ASSEMBLY
The new four-part integral abrasion resistant tie pad and insulator
assembly is designed to control rail seat abrasion on concrete ties.
The components are manufactured from high quality engineered polymers.
These assemblies include a resilient and durable top pad, an anti-abrasion plate, a sand resistant and water repellent gasket, and the side post insulators. All components are assembled on snap fit restraining lugs to ensure security during shipping and service life and arrive at the job site as a single unit. The system is designed to seal out sand, dirt and water from the rail seat. Interlocking studs and dimples, which are an integral part of the plastic plate and pad, resist differential movement of the parts and improve longitudinal restraint.
The pad shown is used with the SAFELOK III fastener. This type of pad is also available for FASTCLIP, SAFELOK I, and 'e' Clip.
PANDROL® SAFELOK III
The SAFELOK III system meets the need for fast, efficient track installation and reduced maintenance cost. SAFELOK III is pre-installed on concrete ties with clip, pad and insulators in place, ready for track installation. The dual insulator design results in extended component life and significantly reduced maintenance costs.
The SAFELOK III system meets or exceeds the standards and requirements established by the world's major railroads and provides optimal performance over a wide range of operating conditions.
Since SAFELOK III is captive on the tie, there is a significant reduction in manpower during rail installation and adjustment.
Benefits Include:
- All components can be pre-assembled on concrete ties
- Fast, fully mechanized application
- All components remain on the track during rail change out or de-stressing
- Outstanding durability
- Exceptional gage retention
- Dual insulator design promotes long insulator life
- No metal-to-metal contact to the clip/rail interface
PANDROL® SRS
PANDROL SRS is designed to reduce vibration and noise and is ideally suited
for transit and freight applications. The Single Resilient System (SRS)
assembly consists of a cast base plate and a resilient pad and can be
used on wood, composite ties or slab track. This non-bonded, low-profile
system is fully insulated, provides excellent stray current protection
and is available in FASTCLIP and 'e' clip designs.
Benefits Include:
- It is economical and competes favorably with standard DF assemblies
- It can withstand freight traffic
- Components can be easily changed to meet loading requirements
- All common rail sizes can be accommodated
- Vertically serrated holes allow for lateral adjustment
- Footprint designs that match current DF assemblies
- FASTCLIP plates are pre-assembled
PANDROL® PANGUARD
PANGUARD is designed to provide a rail fastening system that would reduce both noise and vibration. Such a system is highly desirable in tunnels in transit applications.
The PANDROL PANGUARD system suspends the rail from the web and fishing surface with resilient blocks. The resilient blocks are held in ductile iron side plates that transfer the vertical load to the tie. This system is in use on MBTA and various properties around the world.
