Rail gauge rod is a specially designed member bar used to join the 2 steel rails on both sides, so as to protect them from tilting and keep them in certain rail gauge. Rail gauge rod is also called gauge tie rod and gauge tie bar.
Yongyang are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.
As an experienced rail gauge rod manufacturer, our products is applicable to 56-½" track and rails of 60-140 lbs, with both insulated and non-insulated type. Our products has obtained ISO certification and CRCC authorization. In addition, we manufactured gauge tie rods with the length of 600mm, 762mm, 900mm, mm to be applied in UIC and BS rails.
Standard gauge rods with 2 ends is constituted by 1pcs rod, 4pcs iron card, 4pcs flat washer, 4pcs nuts, 4pcs spring washer. It has insulated and non-insulated 2 types. meanwhile, we are ready to provide customized design according to clients&#; sketch and specific requirement.
AGICO can provide you with rail gauge rod with high intensity, durability and chemical stability, which is easy to install and maintain.
Rail gauge rod plays an important role in rails&#; lateral stabilization and keeping rail distance. It is common to see some railways with track circuit. Under such circumstance, rail gauge rods made of high insulation resistance materials are necessary to separate circuit between the 2 rails. If the rail gauge rod is in absence, the rail gauge may be biased and can cause derailment or overturn of the train.
Rail rod gauge has 2 clamping device at both ends to fix the rail track, and a rod in the middle constraining the rail gauge to a certain length, thus preventing them from sliding.
Rail gauge rods are especially important in weaker parts of the rail, such as sharp curves, turnout, connection and temporary tracks. They help relieve longitudinal tension and maintain regular gauge of the track.
If the traffic intensity on a track is larger, it&#;s better to have a wider rail gauge than normal.

To connect poor areas with the outside developed world, narrow gauges are applied in these areas.
Train speed is determined by the diameter of wheel, which is constrained by the rail gauge. Usually, the wheel diameter is 0.75 times of the gauge, so the train speed is in proportion to the gauge width. Under such condition, B.G track is superior than M.G and N.G track for trains with higher speed.
Narrow gage is advisable in mountain areas, for it is more flexible and can be placed on small curves. This is why some long railways with the length of thousands of kilometers has the gauge as narrow as 610mm.
Those unfamiliar with the particulars of the railway industry may think that if you&#;ve seen one track, you&#;ve seen them all. At Industry-Railway Suppliers, we know that&#;s simply not the case&#;and if you&#;re reading this, chances are you know that, too.
Of course, an obvious differentiating factor between different railway tracks in different regions is the rail gage, or gauge. These terms are commonly used interchangeably, and railroad track gauge tools can differ based on the type. The rail gauge can simply refer to the distance between the two inner faces of the rail, or to a tool which is used to measure that distance or other various curvatures or wear to the rail.
In the United States, the federal safety standards for rail gauge (distance between two rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches, but that is far from the only measurement you&#;ll find necessary to the rail. Gauges must also be used to determine rail wear and to ensure rail is safe to travel, and up to standard. Depending on what these gauges specify, different types of railroad track gauge tools may be needed. There are many types of gauges (railroadtrack gauge measurement tools) and many different measurements performed on various parts of rail. Some of this is due in part to the fact that much of the railroads were built before a standardized system was set in place, and much is because as a train travels over the rail, rail becomes worn and warped over time. These gauges help determine if and where repairs on the railroad need to occur, for safety.
Our railroad track gauge tools are well-made, easy to use, and backed up by our considerate customer support team&#;we&#;re ready and waiting to help you find the right track gauge measurement, rail level boards, or other products to meet your needs today.
The railway infrastructure has come a long way since it was first built up in the 19th century, and at Industry-Railway Suppliers, we like to think we&#;ve played some small part in helping ensure the safety and ease of railroad professionals since our founding in .
