Short Angle Projection (SAP) Bonded Insulated Rail Joint

June 30, 2016

The SAP Joint design increases longitudinal joint strength while reducing epoxy shear stress, reduces noise and vibration, and provides a smooth wheel transition from one rail to the other rail.

Reduces expoxy shear stress, noise and vibration
Staggered end post halves connected with a short angle cut rail head profile eliminate wheels traversing the conventional 90° end post gap
Eliminates joint shock loads and eventual rail end batter
