The 14x14x130mm railway spike (also known as a dog spike or cut track spike) is a high-strength steel fastener engineered for medium and light-duty track networks. The dimensions signify its precise footprint: a 14mm x 14mm square shank and a 130mm length. Driven through steel baseplates into wooden sleepers, its primary job is to secure the rail and maintain correct track gauge under heavy lateral wheel forces.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
· Dog Head Design: The L-shaped head and side lugs clamp flushly onto the bottom flange of the steel rail.
· Chisel Wedge Tip: The flat, wedge-like tip cuts cleanly across wood fibers, preventing the timber sleeper from splitting.
· Square Shank Advantage: The 14x14mm square geometry delivers 50% more holding power than a standard round spike.
· Track Compatibility: Manufactured to standard specifications like TU 14-4-1537-89, making it ideal for R-43 and R-50 rail profiles.
· Premium Materials: Forged from structural carbon steel (such as Q235 or 45#) to absorb rolling train vibrations.
