4 TRACKS The special cold rolled monorail tracks are available in 4 sizes, each is indicated by 6 figures: 230.000, 240.000, 250.000 and 260.000 . The standard lengths are 6 m. Intermediate lengths are also available. In a monorail project all tracks are cut to the exact dimensions. Type The tracks can be supplied in three different finishes: 1. The track is painted and not drilled. In this case the second series of 3 figures is indicated by: ...000... 2. The track is painted, drilled and tapped (at both sides) for a jointing bracket. In this case the second series of 3 figures is indicated...

On request the track bends can be manufactured with an other radius. The standard track bends are provided at both ends with a straight piece of track in order to ensure a perfect joining to the following straight track. We have various vertical bends available in our program as well.

MONORAIL 9 General The track bends with a radius up to and including 600 mm are provided with a vertical and drilled suspension plate. The track curves with a radius larger than 600 mm are fastened with clamps and standard brackets to an l-girder of the support steelwork. Suspension Piece Type A 320 The suspension piece type A is welded to the support steelwork and is applicable for track curves with a radius up to and including 600 mm.

TURNTABLES 17 Turntable The operation of a turntable can be either pneumatic or electric (Please contact our engineering department for the latter case). For pneumatic operation, the number of the operating valve is 230.500/029 (5/2). The turntable can only be operated without a trolley in the turntable. 230.731 240.731 250.731 4 2 3 5 220 380 220 380

18 SWITCH COMBINATIONS Switch/Turntable Combination A turntable is commonly used in combination with switches. In order to ease the mounting of these combinations, the use of the switches as follows on is strongly recommended, because of their specially adapted overall dimensions. 750 560 560 750 2*0.547/... 2*0.537/... 560 750 560 750 560 830 2*0.537/... 2*0.687/... 2*0.730/... 2*0.547/... 396 190 590 45° 45° 670 270 45° 396 2*0.537 2*0.547 right left 2*0.687
