English term or phrase: toe
Contexto:
"Flexible clip toes allow the ***toes*** to self align with the top of the insulator spacer, as well as to distribute load throughout a larger bearing area. This reduces fretting wear on the insulator, which on other systems may reduce ***toe*** load.
In addition, the ***toes*** can flex sideward to move with small longitudinal rail movements, helping distribute rail loads more evenly throughout a length of track."
Pensei em algo como ***ponta***, mas não cheguei a conclusão alguma.
