Nabla-Type Clip Rail Fastening System

Nabla-Type Clip Rail Fastening System

The "Nabla" clip rail fastening system, also known as "Nabla" rail fastening system, is originally developed by Pandrol. We specialize in manufacturing "Nabla" clip rail fastening systems, including standard and upgraded configurations. It uses Nabla clips (Nabla blades) to apply clamping force on the rail, holding it firmly in position on sleepers. It allows dual-direction adjustment for track gauge and rail height, provides superior electrical insulation, and offers high compatibility with tight-radius curve tracks.

Our upgraded "NABLA" fastening system is derived from the original-generation "NABLA" fastening system. It effectively addresses railway on-site issues such as track gauge widening, with overall improvements in lateral-load resistance, electrical insulation and durability. It features quick and easy installation and is compatible with various rail profiles and track types. Thus, it is ideally suited for modern tram and light-rail projects.

Key Advantages of Our Nabla-Type Clip Rail Fastening System

1. Reduced Maintenance 

We select highly wear-resistant insulating and elastic fasteners to resist wear from lateral track loads, significantly reducing the frequency and workload of ongoing track maintenance.

2. Easy Installation 

As a professional manufacturer, we continuously optimize the structural design of fasteners. Our components feature simple assembly and enable fast onsite installation, helping save construction labour and shorten project timelines.

3. Reliability 

We maintain strict production control for the full Nabla fastening system. Multi-stage inspections are performed on both raw materials and finished products, ensuring the system delivers stable longterm service under complex operating conditions.

4. Excellent Electrical Insulation

We fabricate matching insulating components, using high-grade insulating materials to deliver superior electrical insulation performance, fully meeting the insulation requirements of urban transit lines including subways and trams.

5. Wide Application 

Our "Nabla" fastening system is highly compatible and fits many different rail profiles. It is suitable for diverse track applications: trams, metro and regular main-line railways.

6. Lateral Adjustment

Our designed adjustable insulating components allow easy fine‑adjustment of the lateral track gauge, making our "Nabla" Clip fastening system is well‑suited for track sections with complex loading conditions such as small‑radius curves.
