Rail pads, also known as rubber tie plates, are essential components in track structures. Positioned between the steel rail and the concrete sleeper, their primary function is to absorb vibrations and impacts generated by passing trains. This helps protect the roadbed and sleepers while also providing electrical insulation for the signal system.
Since rail pads are exposed to the atmosphere for extended periods, they must have strong resistance to natural aging, extreme temperatures, and environmental factors. In subway systems, specialized rubber pads are used for enhanced shock absorption and noise reduction, improving overall track performance.
Prime Track Resources supplies high-quality rail pads designed to meet the demands of various rail systems, ensuring durability, safety, and efficient track operation.
