Description of Wooden Sleepers
Wooden sleepers refer to sleepers made of wood. Commonly referred to as sleepers, these wooden components serve as fundamental elements in railway infrastructure. To start with, given their critical function, naturally, the production process thus demands exceptional care—particularly in material selection. More specifically, to achieve optimal results, craftsmen must. In fact, meticulously evaluate potential wood; furthermore, they not only prioritize toughness but also the equally essential quality of elasticity. In turn, ultimately, by doing so, they guarantee both long-term durability and reliable performance under stress. People classify wooden pillows into three types based on their use: ordinary wooden pillows, turnout pillows, and bridge pillows. The standard length of a common wooden pillow is 2.5 meters. We classify its cross-sectional shape into two types (I and II) and use them on different grades of circuits.
The advantage of wooden pillows is that they are elastic and can mitigate the dynamic impact of the train. Easy to process and manufacture; Convenient for transportation, laying and maintenance and repair; It has good insulation performance; The connection between the fasteners and the wooden pillows is simple. There is a relatively large friction coefficient between the wooden sleepers and the crushed stone ballast, which can ensure the stability of the track.
Advantage of Wooden Sleepers
1. They are cheap and easy to manufacture
2. They are easy to handle without damage
3. They are more suitable for all types of ballast
4. They absorb shocks and vibrations better than other types of sleepers.
5. Ideal for track circuited sections
6. Fittings are few and simple in design
7. Good resilience
8. Ease of handling
9. Adaptability to non standard situation
10. Electrical insulation
