W21 Rail Fastening System Specification
The W 21 system for conventional rail offers the same elasticity than the already approved W14. However, the tension clamp Skl21 with its fatigue strength of 2.5 mm and a deflection of 14.5 mm performs clearly more than the Skl14. For this purpose, the Skl 21 has been reinforced by a thicker wire diameter. Due to the improved characteristics of the Skl21, a highly elastic rail pad can be added in the W21 HS (High Speed) system: Perfect requirements for the load transfer in high speed tracks. The W21 system becomes increasingly popular and since 2008 it has been being used in 30 countries on a total of about 3.000 km (1.900 miles), for instance in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Slovakia, Argentina, Algeria and Azerbaijan.
The components of the W21 fastening system:
- Tension clamp Skl21 -4 units;
- Screw spike Ss 35/Uls 7 -4 units;
- Angled Guide Plate Wfp-14K12 -4 units;
- Plastic dowel -4 units;
- Rail Pad 148/185/6- 2 units;
- Application: Light Rail System/Conventional Ballasted Line/ High-speed Lines
- Customization: Available
SKL21 Rail fastening system is suitable for pre-assembly at factory, the manufacturer will warrant that the fastener system and fasteners are comply with last version of EN 13481 standard. SKL21 Raiilway Fastener System will be C class mentioned it EN 13481-1 standard and will warrant to use safely up to 300 km/h speed.
The system can be configured according to needs concerning different rail types.
