The availability of a wide variety of types of railroad lipped bolts allows flexible adaptation to the specific needs and technical requirements of our customers.

Characteristics of lipped railroad bolts

Lipped rail bolts are a key component in fastening systems used in the rail industry to stabilize tracks and ensure the safety and durability of rail infrastructure. They are distinguished by their specific design, which enables effective distribution of pressure forces and provides excellent adhesion to railroad sleepers, which is essential for maintaining track stability under various operating conditions.

The production of lipped railroad bolts is based on advanced technological processes, including hot forging, which ensures the optimal microstructure of the material and guarantees bending and compression strength. The material used in production, usually high-grade steel, is subjected to rigorous quality controls to ensure resistance to corrosion, fatigue phenomena and the effects of extreme temperatures.

The shape of the head, that is, the specific expansion at the end of the bolt, provides an additional clamping surface, which is particularly important in the context of the dynamic loads to which railroad tracks are subjected. Properly designed screw threads ensure a strong and durable connection, minimizing the risk of loosening of fasteners under vibration and dynamic loads.

Precise calibration and the use of advanced heat and surface treatment technologies further enhance the resistance of lipped rail bolts to abrasion and atmospheric corrosion, which is key to ensuring long-term performance and minimizing maintenance needs.

In the production process, it is also crucial to ensure high dimensional accuracy, which is realized through the use of modern measurement systems and strict adherence to quality standards. Each batch of lipped rail bolts undergoes rigorous endurance testing to ensure their reliability even under the most demanding operating conditions.

Features and advantages of lipped railroad bolts

Features of the railroad lipped bolts:

Applications for railroad lipped bolts

Railroad lipped bolts are widely used in the railroad industry as key fasteners in railroad track systems. Each type of bolt is designed to meet specific requirements associated with different operating conditions and loads:

• M20X90 Railroad Pivot Bolts - ideal for smaller connections where a smaller diameter and shorter length are required, such as in systems that fasten smaller structural components.
• M24X130 Railroad PivotBolts - universal use in standard track structures, offering a good balance between strength and dimensions.
• M24X140 Railroad Pivot Bolts - slightly longer than M24X130, providing additional stability for standard railroad structures.
• M24X140X2 Railroad PivotBolts - with double threads, used in situations requiring extra grip and strength, such as in areas with high dynamic loads.
• M24X150 Railroad Pivot Bolts - a longer version for applications where extra length is needed, providing greater connection stability.
• M24X150X2 Railroad Pivot Bolts - similar to M24X140X2, but with extra length for maximum strength and stability under extreme conditions.
• M24X165 Railroad Pivot Bolts - the longest in the range, designed for specialized constructions where maximum length is required for stability in exceptional structural conditions.

Advice for investors

• Accurate analysis of needs - before buying lipped railroad bolts, carefully determine the requirements of the project, taking into account the type of tracks, ground conditions and expected loads.
• Selecting the right type of bolt - choose the type of bolt suitable for the specific application, taking into account length, diameter and strength requirements.
• Pay attention to the quality of the material - make sure the bolts are manufactured from high-quality steel to ensure resistance to corrosion, abrasion and mechanical loads.
• Consider purchasing bolts with additional safety features - bolts with additional features, such as fine threads (e.g., M24X150X2), can provide increased stability and safety under particularly demanding conditions.
• Analyze the supplier - choose an experienced supplier with a good reputation that offers not only quality products, but also technical support and after-sales services.

Storage of lipped railroad bolts

• Proper storage of lipped railroad bolts is key to maintaining their quality and functionality. Our recommendations:
• Dry environment - store bolts in a dry place to prevent corrosion and moisture damage.
• Protection from contaminants - make sure the storage area is free of dust, dirt and other contaminants that can affect the quality of threads and bolt surfaces.
• Use of storage racks - use specialized storage racks that ensure proper placement and accessibility of screws, minimizing the risk of mechanical damage.
• Regular condition checks - conduct regular inventory checks to make sure all screws are in good condition and ready for use.
