W116 Welded Rail Clip
Product Overview
W116/18/38 Welded Rail Clip is a robust solution designed to secure medium to heavy-weight rails in demanding industrial environments. With a 130kN (13.3 tonnes) horizontal force capacity, this clip is ideal for cranes, port machinery, and material handling systems. Its 18mm horizontal adjustment range and low-profile design ensure compatibility with guide roller-equipped cranes, while the self-tightening mechanism guarantees long-term stability under high vibration and load.
Key Features
Permanent Welded Fixation
Full-perimeter welding (except bolt area) with 5mm throat thickness ensures a rigid connection to support structures, eliminating maintenance risks from loose components. Weldable base constructed from high-strength steel for superior load distribution.
Self-Tightening Mechanism
Two-piece design locks securely when the Grade 8.8 bolt is tightened to 200 Nm torque, maintaining consistent clamping force over time.
Vibration & Noise Control
Integral vulcanized rubber blockreduces wear and noise: 14mm thicknessfor rails with pads (S model). 21mm thicknessfor rails without pads (H model).
Wide Rail Compatibility
Suitable for 8–89 kg/m railsacross global standards:
Chinese: P38, P43, QU70–QU100
European: A45–A75, UIC 54–UIC 60
Industrial: S20–S49, MRS 54
Japanese: JIS37
American: ASCE 80–ASCE 85
Corrosion-Resistant Design
Galvanized components and weldable steel resist corrosion in coastal, humid, or industrial environments.
