Sleeper anchor SV

Increase the track stiffness.
Permanently and positively tightened to the sleeper.

Installation possibilities:
  • In turnouts
  • In track curves
  • In the case of an increase of the admissible speed in track curves
  • In the case of transitions from bridges to embankments (omission of the feathered joint)
  • In mining-subsidence areas, whereby a greater length of continuous track can be welded

Advantages
The sleeper anchor SV, which has been tested by the "Prüfamt für Bau von Landverkehrswegen" at the Technical University of Munich, provides security against
track buckling in continuously welded tracks.

Characteristic features
Manufactured of spring steel, the sleeper anchor permanently and positively is tightened. To the sleeper the anchors are re-usable, even after a lengthy service period.

Installation also in the sleeper centre
The anchor can also be installed in the centre of the sleeper. The advantage: The ballast will not be disturbed in the area of the load transmission at the sleeper heads. The sleeper anchor can be easily loosened for tamping and alignment and retightened after completion of the work. Loosening and tightening can be carried out with a screwing machine.
