The 12-4 tongue-eye rod is the transition link between connection families in compensation and anchoring systems: one end is a tongue (ball-end) connection, the other an eye connection, so components of the two families can be joined reliably.
Manufactured to TB/T 2075.12-2024, Fittings for overhead contact system of electrification railway — Part 12: Pulley compensation devices, the rod is available in Φ16 and Φ20 diameters matching the 12-3 double-eye rod grades. The tongue's fitting dimensions are held to close tolerance so the joint is secure without play, and assembly and removal stay convenient.
The forged rod is hot-dip galvanized for long outdoor service. The tongue-eye arrangement corresponds to the ball-eye link known from IEC 61466 fitting terminology, making the interface familiar for international projects.
Henan Chuangwit Railway Equipment Co., Ltd. supplies the 12-4 under CRCC certification within the complete TB/T 2075.12 compensation range, with drawing-matched production available for project-specific interfaces.
