It allows the upper to be extremely thin but provide outstanding strength and locked-in support without requiring additional reinforcements-it’s the kind of shoe we would have worn without socks back in high school and college. Brooks also upgraded the v7 to the exceptionally fine woven fabric it’s used in shoes like the Hyperion with great success. Brooks updated the plate to cover the entire foot, with extra ridges and cutouts to save weight.Ĭompared to the previous version, the upper is where this shoe shines. Carbon fiber’s strength-to-weight ratio and ability to bend and rebound is noticeable in this shoe. Thanks to a carbon-fiber plate and a snappy outsole plate, this spike has a springy feeling at quicker paces. The right shoe for: Long track races to 10,000 meters Instead, there’s a little bit of a flare in the forefoot, squaring it up a bit and accommodating wider feet.

The fit is also different, as it’s not long and skinny like spikes of old. The sole isn’t soft in the general sense, but it’s less punishing than a conventional track spike without being slowed by cushioning. Instead, you feel tension build and the shoe load up as you press your weight down into it, then launch forward with toe-off. The sensation isn’t springy, like you might expect from ZoomX, a Pebax-based foam (the same used in the Vaporfly) that’s extremely lightweight, well-cushioned, and has boatloads of energy return. The shoe is entirely weird the moment you step into it-it’s tippy, and you feel two distinct bulges under your foot.

It uses a combination of a two-piece Air unit and springy ZoomX foam, plus a stiffening carbon-fiber plate to help you rocket around the track. by rolling.The most futuristic track spike on the market today is the all-new Victory. Material: QT500-7 or QT450-10 (low carbon steel or high carbon steel by forging, and low carbon steel S275JR, Q235,etc. Type: Applicable of rail UIC54, UIC60, 50kg rail, 60kg rail,S49 and size as ordered Double shoulder plates are usually used for rail that is larger than 100 lb.Ĭasting is a common technology to produce rail tie plates, which is also a cost saving way. Single shoulder tie plates are usually used by rails weights running from 56lb though 100 lb.įor a sole plate of double shoulder, types of 2-hole, 4-hole, 5-hole, 6-holes or 8-hole are all available according to customer requests. The plate’s short end or gauge end is placed inside of the rail track, and that why the rail base width is always required from clients. Rail tie plates can be classified depending on either a single or double shoulder construction, to supply various ribbed tie plates.įor the tie plates of single shoulder, the shoulder is designed at the field end of the plate. It always works together with anchor bolts or spikes by sustaining the load of a rail track and also transferring part of the load to the tie sleepers, with a flat smooth resting surface to guarantee the vertical alignment and hold the rail in correct gauge for a rail line system.Īll in all, rail tie plates are used to given a smooth and uniform bearing surface for the rail and the tie in order to prevents the rail from cutting into the tie, maintain gauge, and also helps to better distribute the wheel load to ties.Īgico Rail is capable of producing rail tie plates by either casting(welded or fabricated type) or forging or rolling, applicable of different rail sections, for wooden, steel or concrete sleepers, depending on the load and rail standard, i.e. Rail tie plates are used not only to support the rails, but also to fix the entire rail fastening systems. Rail tie plate is also called rail base plate or sole plate, it is a main component in railroad construction of a crane rail or track support system. Packing: bulk in carton, then on pallet, or according to customers.Surface: Plain, black painting or upon customer requirement.Standard: GB, DIN, ISO, ANSI/ASTM, B7, BS, JIS etc.Size: single/ double shoulder tie plate or custom type.
