Elastic Rail Pads are installed directly beneath the rail base to protect the track bed structure and increase elasticity in ballast beds. Elastic EPDM rail pads can be manufactured in a variety of dimensions for different rigidities as per client requirements for different needs, ranging from metros and tramways through to high-speed traffic, thanks to their microcellular structures (c = 20–200 kN/mm). The elasticity required for ballastless track systems is guaranteed by highly elastic Base Plate Pads and installed between the ribbed base plates and the supporting concrete slab with a spring rigidity of c = 5 - 60 kN / mm. This ensures a load-spreading effect in the rails and greatly reduces any vibrations and structure-borne sound.

Our products are quickly and easily installed directly beneath the ribbed base plate. The support point manufacturer’s instructions must be followed when doing so..
