Fishplate Ł39

The L39 fishplate is a specialized, heavy-duty rail joint bar primarily designed to securely connect and align lighter-profile railway tracks. Typically manufactured in accordance with Polish standards (PN-H-93470), these fishplates feature exact profiles to ensure maximum track stability and load distribution.

Key Specifications of Fishplate Ł39

• Compatible Rail Profile: S39

• Standard Manufacturing: PN-H-93470

• Weight per piece: 5.64 kg

• Bolt Hole Configuration: Typically comes in 4-hole or 6-hole variants depending on the specific joint requirements. 

Functionality of Fishplate Ł39

Fishplates (or joint bars) are a crucial component of the railway track fastening system. The L39 fishplate is bolted in pairs on either side of the rail to:

• Keep rails precisely aligned both horizontally and vertically.

• Evenly distribute the weight and impact of passing train wheelsets across connected track sections.

• Prevent the rail ends from shifting or separating. 

The Ł39 rail fishplate (splice bar) is a specialized metal joint used to connect sections of S39 (39 kg/m) railway track. Engineered to maintain track alignment and structural stability, it is widely utilized in light rail, industrial mining, and heavy-duty crane applications. 

Installation & Maintenance of Fishplate Ł39

To securely fasten a pair of Ł39 fishplates across a rail joint, you typically need 4 to 6 complete sets of fish bolts, which include the fish bolt, heavy-duty nut, flat washer, and spring washer. Proper alignment ensures that train and crane wheels pass smoothly over the joint, mitigating impact wear and fatigue.
