Rail gap adjuster

Hydraulic Rail Gas Adjuster

AGICO Rail is a trusted railway maintenance machine manufacturer from China, we have more than 20 years of experience in railroad rail, railway track fasteners and rail maintenance tools. Rail gap adjuster is one of hot-sale railway maintenance equipment of AGICO Rail.

The rail gap adjuster is a professional device specially designed for the inspection and maintenance operations of railway lines. It is mainly used to precisely adjust the rail gaps of steel rails caused by temperature changes, mechanical stresses or track construction.

Why is rail gap adjuster recommended?

We know that in seamless track or rail welding operations, the precise adjustment of rail joints is a crucial step that affects the stability of track operation and the safety of trains. Many customers have given us feedback that traditional methods such as manual tapping and jacks are not only inefficient and inaccurate, but also prone to causing damage to the rail body.

For this reason, based on years of on-site construction experience and railway standards, we have developed this professional equipment specially designed for on-site track joint adjustment operations. It can safely, quickly and accurately complete the pushing and pulling operations of the rail, helping you easily control the rail gap and meet the construction requirements before rail stress adjustment or welding.

The gap of railway rail joints (i.e., rail gap) often varies in size due to factors such as climate change and train operation. In order to restore the rail gap to the required size, the railroad rails must be moved in series. The YTF-250 rail gap adjuster equipped with a safety device can meet the rail-crossing tasks of 30Kg/m, 38Kg/m, and 43Kg/m steel rails.

YTF-400 II hydraulic rail gap adjuster

The YTF-400 II type hydraulic rail gap adjuster is suitable for the line adjustment rail gap operation of various types of rails. This machine has two functions: pushing the rail gap wider and pulling the rail gap narrower. It can be used for both pushing and pulling the rail. It is easy to operate, has high working efficiency, and features an anti-jamming function, ensuring safe use.

Each of our rail gap adjuster undergoes precise assembly and factory testing to ensure that they are ready to use upon arrival in your hands, reliable and durable.

Advantages of rail gap adjuster

The rail gap adjuster developed and produced by AGICO RAIL has the following functional features:

using high-pressure hydraulic system or helical gear transmission, it can achieve single-sided or double-sided push/pull force of 150kN~300kN, meeting the high-strength requirements of long track construction sites.
the adjustment stroke can reach more than 300mm, equipped with displacement sensor and scale to ensure that the rail gap adjustment is accurate to the millimeter level.
equipped with manual and automatic control modes, the equipment has a compact structure and is easy to carry, suitable for various complex construction sites.
the core structure adopts high-strength alloy steel and wear-resistant guide rail system, and the surface is treated with heat treatment and anti-rust coating to adapt to a variety of harsh working conditions.

Multiple uses of rail gap adjuster

Our rail gap adjuster, in layman’s terms, is a “rail gap control expert”. It adjusts the longitudinal displacement of the steel rails through high-strength hydraulic or mechanical thrust, helping construction units precisely achieve the following goals:

  1. Adjustment of rail gaps before rail welding
  2. Temperature stress release operation
  3. Tension control of steel rails for seamless lines
  4. Pre-control of rail gaps during the laying of long rails;
  5. When maintaining the railway line, the positions of the rail sections are changed and fine-tuned.

Whether in the cold winter or the hot summer, it can help you precisely control the rail gap, avoiding safety hazards such as rail expansion or breakage caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

Selection suggestions for you

If you plan to purchase a rail gap adjuster, I suggest you pay attention to the following points:

  1. Is the adjustment force sufficient? If the rail tension is insufficient, the rail cannot be adjusted;
  2. Is the rail type suitable? Be sure to select the rail clamp according to the rail type on site;
  3. Operation mode selection? Manual is suitable for short operations, and electric is suitable for long rails and high-frequency construction;
  4. Is it necessary to disassemble and assemble quickly? If there are many operation points, a fast rail clamping structure can be selected;
  5. Is it customized? Such as special rail types, limited on-site space, etc.

We can help you select the model accurately according to your usage needs, and you are also welcome to provide construction drawings or working conditions requirements, and I will customize the supporting equipment plan for you.
