Rail Plastic Dowel PA6 PA66 Nylon - Concrete Sleeper Threaded Insert for Railway Fastening System
Product Overview
Our Rail Plastic Dowel PA6 PA66 Nylon, also widely known as railway threaded plastic insert, concrete sleeper plastic sleeve, and rail fastening nylon dowel, is a core embedded component specially designed for railway concrete sleeper fastening systems. Engineered for pre-embedding in prestressed concrete sleepers, this precision-molded nylon dowel features integral internal threaded structures, perfectly matching railway screw spikes and rail bolts to form a stable, durable, and high-safety railway track fixing system.
As an indispensable foundational part of modern rail fastening infrastructure, it effectively connects rail fasteners, elastic clips, and concrete sleepers, bearing track dynamic load, vibration impact, and environmental erosion, ensuring the long-term stable operation of railway tracks. Available in pure PA6, pure PA66, and PA66+30% glass fiber reinforced specifications, our dowels fully adapt to light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-haul railway line requirements, covering ordinary speed railways, high-speed railways, urban subways, light rails, and industrial railway sidings worldwide.
Core Product Definition & Working Principle
The rail plastic nylon dowel is a rigid engineering plastic embedded part pre-cast inside concrete sleepers during sleeper production. Different from ordinary plastic fasteners, this product is customized with standard internal threads that precisely cooperate with rail screw spikes. After the concrete sleeper molding is completed, the dowel is firmly fixed inside the concrete base without loosening or falling off.
During track installation and maintenance, construction workers can directly screw rail screw spikes into the internal threads of the nylon dowel. With the excellent friction locking force and tensile resistance of nylon materials, the dowel transmits and disperses the vertical pressure, lateral thrust, and longitudinal traction generated by train operation between the rail and concrete sleeper. It solves the common problems of metal embedded parts such as easy rust, electric conduction, thread slipping, and concrete cracking, becoming the optimal matching accessory for SKL, Vossloh, and other mainstream railway fastening systems.
PA6 & PA66 Nylon Material Advantages
PA6 Nylon Dowels
Features excellent fluidity, strong moldability, and good toughness with outstanding low-temperature resistance and impact resistance. Maintains stable mechanical properties in extreme low-temperature environments without brittle cracking. Suitable for conventional railway lines, urban light rails, and subway projects in temperate and frigid regions.
PA66 Nylon Dowels
Upgraded high-specification products with higher molecular density and structural stability. Higher heat resistance, tensile strength, and compressive strength with melting point up to 260°C-300°C. Excellent high-temperature dimensional stability and stronger chemical corrosion resistance. Preferred for heavy-haul railways, high-speed railways, and port industrial railway lines.
