Elastomer Spring

The Type HD rail clamps facilitate the precise alignment of rails by

allowing a high degree of stepless lateral adjustability. Three variants
are available (see opposite page).
Technical Data
Suitable for all rails with tapered flanges and crane speeds of up to
60m/min. For wheel loads above 400kN or lateral loads higher than
wheel loads please contact Lindapter.

Type HD Hard Clip

Leg length V should be selected to clamp rail down tightly and
allow no vertical rail movement. Not to be used when the rail is
supported by a resilient pad.

Type HD Soft Clip

Leg length V should be selected to allow vertical rail movement
caused by rail wave, whilst holding the rail in precise alignment
laterally. Rail ends need to be fixed.

Type HD SpringClip
The spring clip version incorporates an elastomer spring into the
nose of the product, designed to provide some vertical restraint
to the rail whilst still allowing the rail to lift with rail wave.
The elastomer spring is manufactured from high density synthetic F
polymer which has a Shore A hardness of 94.97. The spring is H
unaffected by salt water and most chemicals and has a high V
resistance to abrasion.

Resilient Pad
Both the spring and soft clips can be used with a resilient pad to
decrease track running noise / structural vibration, level out irregular
contact between surface and rail and to spread wheel load evenly
over a wider area. V

Installation 1. Position clip on bolt or stud.

Place the plug in 3 oclock
position and tighten the nut. +L

2. Rotate the built in nut profile
in a clockwise direction from
the 3 oclock position to locate W
the clip against the rail and laterally
adjust the rail if required.
3. Apply the recommended torque to the hexagon nut.
