Fish bolts, also known as fishtail threads, are essential fasteners crafted specifically for securing rail joint clamps, or fishtail plates. Predominantly utilized in the robust settings of metallurgy, coking, and steel industries, these bolts ensure the seamless and durable connection between rails and their joints. Occasionally, hexagonal bolts offer an alternative solution. The primary role of these bolts is to guarantee the unwavering stability and safety of rail joints, expertly withstanding the immense pressure and vibrations generated by train operations.
Product Features and Design Advantages
Crafted from high-strength steel like 45# steel or Q235, our fish bolts boast an impressive yield point and tensile strength, standing resolute against the substantial pressure of high-speed trains. Their innovative anti-loosening design effectively counteracts any loosening caused by train vibrations, ensuring transportation safety is paramount. The distinctive fishtail-shaped bolt head allows for swift and precise positioning and tightening by workers. Furthermore, fish bolts with specialized surface treatments exhibit excellent corrosion resistance, maintaining optimal performance in challenging environments and boasting a service life extending over decades.
Model Specification and Material Selection
Fish bolts come in popular models like Φ14×70, Φ16×75, Φ18×90, Φ20×90, Φ22×135, and Φ24×135, formed through hot pressing or cold heading using friction presses. Material choices include ordinary carbon steel (Q235) and high-strength steel (45# steel), alongside specialized variants such as insulated fish bolts. Performance grades range from 4.6 to 12.9, with grades 8.8 and above representing high-strength bolts, crafted from low-carbon alloy steel or medium-carbon steel and undergoing meticulous heat treatment.
Installation Precautions
During installation of fish bolts, adhere to the following precautions: Lubricate the contact areas between fish plate, rail, and bolts with oil. If alignment issues arise during insertion, adjust by tapping the fish plate rather than forcing the bolts. Begin tightening from the middle, then the sides (in the case of a four-hole fish plate), using a specified length wrench like a 55 cm screw wrench. Avoid simultaneous tightening by multiple persons to prevent over-tightening. Install bolt caps crosswise inside and outside the line to avert complete cut-off during derailment.
Application Fields and Importance
Fish bolts are pivotal in rail transportation sectors, including railways, subways, and light rails, serving as crucial components for secure track connections. Their superior reliability and streamlined installation processes substantially mitigate railway accident risks and are employed in prestigious international projects like the European ICE high-speed rail and the US Amtrak. Revered as the 'rice of industry,' fish bolts are also instrumental in industries such as shipping, automotive, and water conservancy projects, underscoring their versatile importance across various fields.
