Function of sleepers
The rail sleeper bears the pressure from the rail in all directions and spreads elastically on the ballast bed. The raiway sleeper effectively maintains the geometric shape of the track, especially the gauge and direction.
Requirements for sleepers
The railway sleeper has the necessary robustness, elasticity and durability, and is easy to fix rails. It has the ability to resist longitudinal and transverse displacements.
