HANGER CLAMP FOR HOLDING A CONDUCTIVE PROFILE, RIGID OVERHEAD CATENARY SYSTEM AND RAILTRACK COMPRISING SUCH A HANGER CLAMP

This hanger clamp (200) for holding a conductive profile (120) of a rigid overhead catenary system (100) belonging to a railtrack, comprises a clamping portion (220) configured to receive a base plate (122) of the conductive profile (120). The clamping portion (220) comprises two jaws (222) with a U profile each jaw defining a reception volume (V222). The hanger clamp (200) further comprises two inserts (230), each insert being received within a respective reception volume (V222) and being configured to be positioned between the corresponding jaw and the base plate while allowing sliding movements of the conductive profile relative to the hanger clamp along a longitudinal axis (A120) of the conductive profile, each insert being also configured to conduct electricity between the base plate and the clamping portion. [0002] According to the invention, the inserts (230) are made from a material comprising a synthetic polymer and a conductive charge.
