eccentric insert Explanation: As regards flexible base plate systems, Vossloh offers a fastening system, type Vossloh 336. It is basically a fastening system based on the standard fastening system KS with the following modifications. The holes for sleeper screws are bigger so that there is space there for centric or eccentric bushing (adjustment of the rail position is achieved by turning the eccentric insert). With regard to the fact that installation is expected on slab tracks, use of anchors rather than sleeper screws is considered here. The substantial change is the location of an elastic pad under the base plate, which requires use of a spiral spring under the anchor nut, so that a stable downward pressure on the nut is ensured at the moment of vehicle passage, and impacts and loosening of the nuts are avoided. Since it is a base plate system, in this case there is no problem with the application into turnouts. http://www.s-code.info/media/1101/d4-2-integration-and-optim... |
