W216 Rail Clip Components
| Component Number | Component Name | Key Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Flange Nut | Secures the clip assembly, working with the self-tightening mechanism for long-term stability under 235kN loads. |
| 2 | Steel Clip | High-strength steel construction resists bending and wear, even under extreme horizontal force. |
| 3 | Vulcanized Rubber Block | Applies controlled pressure to protect rail surfaces and dampen vibration from heavy rail traffic. |
| 4 | Weldable Base | Weldable-grade steel base enables direct attachment to supports—eliminates the need for below-access. |
| 5 | M16 Captive Bolt | Grade 8.8 captive bolt ensures secure locking of the clip’s two main parts, critical for extreme load performance. |

Simple Installation & Load Capacity
Welding Requirements
- Weld Scope: Weld all around the clip base (except the bolt position) with a 4mm throat thickness fillet weld. Note: For rails without pad, omit the weld closest to/parallel with the rail.
- Electrode Recommendations: Use low-hydrogen electrodes (AWS E7018 or E7028) to ensure weld strength for heavy-load applications.
- Custom Weld Guidance: For complex setups, contact Glory Rail for personalized welding support.
Tightening & Documentation
- Tightening Torque: 200 Nm (for M16 Grade 8.8 captive bolt) – critical for proper locking and self-tightening performance.
