Functionality and Types of Railway Track Rubber Pads
Deesawala Rubber Industries is an approved supplier of grooved rubber sole plates, commonly known as GRSP rail rubber pad. We are the suppliers to the Indian Railways and also have been a part of other railway projects across the country. We are dedicated to exporting our products outside India as well. The rail pads are a combination of grooved designs and premium quality selected rubbers. This combination makes it highly resilient with anti-weathering properties and increased robustness for railways. The materials used to manufacture rubber pads for railway tracks have proven to be a dynamic force by up to 65%. It has allowed the railways to adopt a higher speed and greater axle loads than before. The grooved rail pads are fit between the rail underside and the sleeper top.
Functionality of Railway Track Rubber Pads
The rail rubber pad in the railways plays a crucial role in acting as a vibration-damping isolator between the cast surface of the concrete sleeper and the railway track. The vibrations that have been by trains must not be ignored in the field of engineering. Therefore, these methods have been adopted to efficiently eliminate the same. The rubber rail pads play a crucial role in eliminating the vibrations and reducing the impactful load occurring from heavy-weighted railway wagons. It enhances safety and lifespan of the railway tracks and sleepers.
The rail pads manufacturers use only one method to create the rail pads. The process of compounding is optimized using a combination of polymers that have high oil-resistant properties and resistance to fatigue crack growth. The combination of elastomers is preferred in this formulation which helps in providing resistance to ozone, heat, flame, weather, and higher axle load.
Grooved Rubber Rail Pad Product Specification
The GRSP is place between the underside of the rail and on the top of the sleeper. It helps in providing an extended life of the railway tracks. These pads come in different sizes and specifications which can be used in channel sleepers on rail expansion joints, bridges, and other places. They have some excellent properties of electrical and creep resistance which allows them to be used in turnouts. Deesawala Rubber Industries offers a wide range of GRSP rail pads that cater to all the needs of the Indian Railways. It can be placed in wooden sleepers and rails in the railway tracks to extend the service life of the rails.

What is the rubber pad used in railway track?
The rubber pad used in railway tracks is called a rail pad or a railway sleeper pad. It's an essential component placed between the steel rail and the sleeper (also known as a tie), which can be concrete, wood, or even steel.
What are rail pads used for?
Rail pad is installed between steel rail and concrete railway sleeper. The rail pad is mainly used to reduce the high speed vibration and impact produced by the vehicle during running.
