Detail Information
RailwayCare RJS-H280 Overview
The RailwayCare RJS-H280 Hydraulic Insulated Rail Joint Separator is engineered for the efficient and safe removal of bonded insulated rail joints (IRJs). Unlike impact-based methods that risk rail head deformation, the RJS-H280 operates on a principle of precision lateral shear displacement.
The unit integrates a matched 40-ton hydraulic jack to generate up to 280 kN of shear force, sufficient to overcome the adhesive bond between the composite insulating plates and rail web. This force induces a minute, controlled misalignment at the joint gap—just enough to break the bond, yet gentle enough to preserve rail geometry and surface integrity.
Weighing no more than 60 kg in total, the system is fully portable by two track workers and requires no external power or lifting equipment. From setup to full plate separation, the entire process takes less than five minutes, significantly reducing track possession time during maintenance windows.
Designed for use on standard-gauge lines with rail weights from 43 kg/m to 75 kg/m, the RJS-H280 is ideal for mainline, metro, and heavy-haul applications where joint reliability and operational efficiency are critical.
Robust construction, simple operation, and repeatable performance make this separator a dependable solution for modern railway infrastructure teams.
