Bent Rigid Rail (BRR) BRR rail is used for circumferential applications. The rail can be ordered either as a complete ring or as individual sections. When ordering, specify inside or outside work diameter, method of mounting (magnets, vacuum cups or bolts) and if a complete circle is required. The mounting method will be taken into consideration to determine actual rail radius. On large work diameters individual sections of rail can “Leapfrog” around the vessel. Use at least four (4) magnets or vacuum cups on each piece of BRR-1180. Pieces of Rail Needed to Form Complete Ring Maximum...
