FAQs of Railway Stretcher Bar:
Q: How is the Railway Stretcher Bar installed on the track?
A: The stretcher bar is installed by bolting it securely with end fittings, ensuring a stable connection between the rails at turnouts or crossings. Machined ends align easily, and installation requires standard railway tools.
Q: What benefits does the galvanized or anti-rust coating provide?
A: The galvanized or anti-rust coating significantly enhances the stretcher bars resistance to corrosion, protecting it from moisture, chemicals, and adverse weather. This results in extended product life and reduced maintenance costs.
Q: When should the stretcher bar be replaced in railway applications?
A: Under typical working conditions, the stretcher bar boasts a lifespan of over 10 years. Replacement is recommended only if inspection reveals signs of excessive wear or compromised structural integrity due to extreme loads or corrosion.
Q: Where is this stretcher bar commonly used in railway systems?
A: It is primarily used at turnouts and track crossings to maintain the correct gauge between rails, critical for safe train movement. Its design makes it suitable for various railway installations, including heavy-duty and high-traffic lines.
Q: What makes the stretcher bar suitable for varying climates and operating temperatures?
A: With a robust mild steel construction, smooth polished surface, and protective coatings, it remains functional across an operating temperature range of -40C to 55C, ensuring dependability in both cold and hot environments.
Q: How does the manufacturing process enhance the performance of the stretcher bar?
A: The bar is forged using hot rolling technology, followed by precision machining of the ends. This process ensures consistent dimensions, optimal hardness (180 220 HB), and a smooth surface, contributing to its high tensile strength and durability.
