Rail Gap Adjuster

A rail gap adjuster is a vital device used in railway track construction and maintenance to precisely adjust the gap between two rails. Due to changes in ambient temperature or wear during train operation, the spacing between rails may shift, affecting the safety and smoothness of train movement. The rail gap adjuster applies hydraulic pushing or pulling force to accurately realign the rail gap, ensuring the track maintains the designed safe clearance. It is especially critical in continuous welded rail (CWR) systems where thermal stress must be carefully managed to prevent buckling or rail breakage.

This series of rail gap adjusters is suitable for the laying, maintenance, and stress adjustment of various rail types, and is particularly suitable for maintenance projects in areas with large temperature differences or long-term operating lines. As a professional railway track maintenance equipment supplier, AGICO provides users with a variety of rail gap adjusters, including one-way push rail and two-way push-pull functions, to meet the needs of different project sites. It is an indispensable professional tool for railway line maintenance units.

Main Product Features of AGICO Rail Gap Adjuster

The rail gap adjusters produced by AGICO are designed for efficient and safe operation on railway sites, with strong push-pull force and excellent control performance. We use hydraulic drive technology and combine years of experience in railway equipment research and development to create high-performance rail gap adjustment solutions suitable for a variety of working conditions. Among them, the AG-YTF-400Ⅱ model has a push-pull bidirectional function, which can meet more actual needs on site. All models adopt an anti-stuck structural design to ensure that they remain reliable and stable during high-intensity operations. It is a track gap adjustment device that truly integrates efficiency, safety, and convenience.

AG-YTF-400 rail gap adjuster

AG-YTF-400II rail gap adjuster

Main features:

Hydraulic drive, push-pull bidirectional function (AG-YTF-400Ⅱ)

Suitable for different rail gap adjustment needs, especially in areas with large temperature differences and complex lines, rail gap adjustment operations can be completed quickly.

Efficient operation: no-load efficiency ≥2.0mm/time

The adjustment distance of each action is greatly improved, which greatly improves work efficiency and is suitable for emergency construction or centralized repair tasks.

Humanized design: The handle has low operating torque and can be used by one person

Compact structure, simple operation, reduce labor intensity of workers, and improve working comfort.

Safety guarantee: anti-stuck structure, adapts to the changing working conditions on site

The special structural design prevents the equipment from being "stuck" under high pressure or complex working conditions, ensuring the continuity of construction.

A variety of models are available to meet the needs of different construction scenarios

The push rail function (AG-YTF-400) and push-pull bidirectional function (AG-YTF-400Ⅱ) cover conventional and complex working scenarios.

Parameter Comparison of Various Rail Gap Adjuster Models

Application Scenarios of Rail Gap Adjuster

Rail gap adjusters are widely used in many key links of railway line construction and subsequent maintenance, especially in scenarios with high requirements for rail gap accuracy and efficiency, which can significantly improve the quality and safety of operations. Whether it is the construction of new lines or the fine adjustment of existing lines, AGICO rail gap adjusters can provide efficient and stable solutions.

Track gap adjustment in the early stage of railway laying

During the track laying stage of a new railway line, accurate adjustment of the joint gap between the rails will help improve the overall quality of the line and lay a safe foundation for train operation.

Rail gap maintenance under temperature stress changes

Rail may expand and contract due to temperature changes in different seasons or day and night. Timely adjustment with the track gap adjuster can avoid hidden dangers such as track deformation and dislocation.

Precision adjustment requirements in tunnels, bridges, and complex environments

In areas with limited space or construction restrictions, such as tunnels, bridges, and turnouts, the characteristics of light and easy operation of the equipment and large push-pull force are particularly important to ensure operation accuracy and efficiency.

Rapid on-site adjustment tasks such as railway overhaul and blockade construction

Faced with maintenance operations with tight blockade time and large workload, the track gap adjuster can complete precise track gap adjustment in a short time, helping the line to quickly resume traffic.
