50E5 Rail
Product Overview
50E5 rail is a heavy-duty rail profile designed to meet the rigorous demands of European mainline railways, heavy-haul freight systems, and industrial applications. Compliant with EN 13674-4 standards, this rail offers a balanced combination of strength, durability, and dimensional precision. With a weight of 49.90 kg/m and engineered dimensions, the 50E5 rail is ideal for high-traffic corridors, mining operations, and crane systems where reliability under dynamic loads is critical.
Key Features
Dimensions:
Weight: 49.9kg/m (110.01 lb/yd)
Head Width: 67 mm | Rail Height: 148mm | Base Width: 135 mm | Web Thickness: 14 mm
Length: customized from 5m to 25m.
Material & Mechanical Properties
Standards: EN 13674-4 (dimensions), EN 13674-1 (mechanical properties), ISO 9001:2008 (quality management).
Steel Grades:
R200: 200–240 HBW hardness, ≥680 MPa tensile strength; suitable for light-duty regional lines.
R260: 260–300 HBW, ≥880 MPa tensile strength; engineered for mainline freight (axle loads ≤25 tons).
R260Mn: Enhanced manganese content (1.30–1.70%) for abrasive environments like mining.
R350HT (heat-treated): 350–390 HBW, ≥1175 MPa tensile strength; optimized for ultra-heavy haul (30+ ton axles) and high-speed applications, reducing wear by 25% compared to non-treated grades.
Customization Services
Rail Processing: Pre-drilled bolt patterns (M24–M30), stress-relieved end machining, and mill-certified weld preparation.
Accessories:
Rail clips
Fish Plates & bolts for secure 50E5 rail joints.
Rail Pads: 5–15 mm thickness for vibration damping.
Applications
Railways
European mainline networks for heavy-haul freight, meeting EN 13674-1 standards for axle loads up to 30 tons.
Mining & Quarry Systems
Resists deformation from uneven track beds and abrasive ore cart wheels in underground mines (e.g., copper mines).
R260Mn grade preferred for surface quarry rails, withstanding repetitive loading/unloading of gravel/stone.
Ports & Intermodal Terminals
Critical for container gantry cranes (40+ ton loads) in hubs, with galvanized 50E5 rails resisting saltwater corrosion.
Integrates with automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems for precision cargo movement in warehouses.
