Selecting Curves To optimize the travel of the Suspension Trolleys around curves, the axis-center distance “L” must not be bigger than the curve radius “R”. If the axis-center distance is considerably larger than the curve radius, the front Suspension Trolley is almost perpendicular to the slide direction. This can cause the Traverse Trolley to jam. Note: The slide direction of a Trolley should never deviate more than 45° (displacement angle “a”) from the traverse! Corrective Action: Choose a bigger curve (as shown in Diagram 1), or ease the curve with diagonal travel. Curves 90° Material: Steel Finish:...

Internal version for C-Rails 40 x 40 to 80 x 80 Technical Data Assembly Instructions: End Stops must be secured by a safety screw crosswise to the rail. Safety Screw is included in the scope of delivery. Project planning note: To avoid shearing forces in the pendulum bolts when Traverse Trolleys/Support Trolleys rapidly drive in end position, we recommend using an additional exterior End Stop. Application-specific End Stops available by request.

Suspensions for Monorail Systems Program 1400 Suspensions In addition to the various mounting options with Rail Support Brackets directly to the ceiling, suspensions often need to be used, e.g on saw-tooth roofs, or under structural steel work. Single-point Suspensions Determining the length of threaded rods (mm): 1 Diagram 1 and 2: (for vertical suspension only) Diagram 2 and 3: (for inclined suspension only) Diagram 4: L3 and L4 have to be determined graphically and calculative, depending on the corresponding incline of the ceiling.
