Rail fishplate splice bar used for railroad fastening
Rail joints, also named splice bar, fishplates or rail joint bar, is a metal bar that is welded into two rails in order to join them together. It is the most useful product and used in the construction of railway tracks for their sturdiness.
Railway Fsihplate is widely used in light rail, heavy rail and crane rail. So if the quality of the railway fish plate is poor, the caused consequence would be unimaginable. As to the fastening system, fishtail bolt is the other important part and always firstly chosen in the part of fastening. In general, the rail fastening system is consist offishtail bolt, flat washer and spring washer. Every two fish plates mostly need four or six suits of fishtail bolt.
