Frequently Asked Questions

General

✓ What is the magnetic holding strength of the NdFeB magnet base? ▾

The Railshoe Magnet Adapter features a high-strength neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnet that provides secure attachment to ferromagnetic surfaces on railway infrastructure. The magnetic force is engineered to maintain stability during surveying operations while still allowing for repositioning when needed.

✓ Is the 5/8-inch threading compatible with standard surveying equipment? ▾

Yes, the 5/8-inch threaded mount follows industry standard specifications and is compatible with most professional surveying instruments including total stations, prism poles, and GNSS rovers. The precision-machined threads ensure secure mounting and accurate positioning.

✓ What are the primary applications for the L-shaped aluminum design? ▾

The L-shaped aluminum construction provides optimal stability and clearance for railway surveying applications. This design allows for secure attachment to rail heads while positioning surveying equipment at the correct elevation and orientation for geodetic measurements along railway corridors.

✓ How does the aluminum construction withstand harsh railway environments? ▾

The high-grade aluminum construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor railway environments. The material maintains structural integrity under temperature variations and exposure to environmental elements, ensuring long-term reliability for professional surveying applications.

✓ Why are these adapters sold in sets of 5 pieces? ▾

The 5-piece packaging is designed to meet the typical requirements of railway surveying projects where multiple measurement points are needed simultaneously. This quantity allows surveying teams to establish comprehensive control networks and conduct efficient multi-point measurements along railway alignments while providing backup units for continuous operations.
