49 Moment Load Carriage Systems Moment load carriage systems are available with two types of work station support, both designed to connect to the track system support beam: Static roller type: with eccentrically adjusted rollers attached to the framework bearing against a fixed skid plate on the underside of the carriage. This reduces the total number of rollers required and therefore the cost of a system with many carriages but few work stations. Dynamic roller type: with eccentrically adjusted rollers attached to the underside of the carriage, bearing on adjustable height support track. The combination of these adjustable features facilitates set up where accuracy and alignment cannot be guaranteed or where continuous support for the carriage is required all around the circuit. Standard components, shown in the unframed illustrations, can also be used within customers special designs a number of which are shown in the framed illustrations.
