Description of Panlock
Panlock is a locking device for railway track fastener systems, mainly used to fix rails and sleepers to ensure that the rails remain stable under long-term train loads and temperature changes.
Working principle
Panlock fixes rails by mechanical self-locking + elastic buckling:
- Locking wedge insertion: During installation, the locking wedge is hammered or pressed into the fastener slot to form a rigid constraint.
- Elastic buckling: Apply continuous downward pressure to prevent the rail from jumping up and down or moving laterally.
- Anti-longitudinal slip: The inclined design of the locking wedge can resist the longitudinal force generated by the rail due to thermal expansion and contraction or train braking.
Installation steps
- Pre-install fastener system: place rail pads, insulating gaskets, etc. according to design requirements.
- Place rails: After adjusting the gauge and level, install elastic fasteners.
- Insert Panlock: Use special tools to knock the locking wedge into the fastener slot until it is fully locked.
- Inspection and acceptance: Ensure that the locking force meets the standard and there is no looseness or deflection.
Function
- Prevent longitudinal displacement of rails: Prevent rails from creeping when temperature changes or train brakes.
- Enhance track stability: Reduce relative movement between rails and sleepers, and improve track geometry retention.
- Reduce maintenance costs: Reduce problems such as bolt loosening and gauge changes caused by loose rails, and extend track life.
- Adapt to high-speed railway needs: Can still maintain stable locking under high-frequency vibration and high-load environments.
Panlock is a key component in the railway track fastener system. Through the dual effects of mechanical locking + elastic constraint, it significantly improves the stability and anti-creeping ability of the rails, especially suitable for high-speed and heavy-load railways.
