Rigid ring
segments
Rigid ring segments can be joined to create guide rings with a maximum diameter of
1560 mm (4 segments). The individual segments are joined to form a guide ring using
locking catches and M6x20 socket screws:
DIAMETER SEGMENTS BRIDGES
840 - 1020 mm (33.1 - 40.2 in.) 3 9
1020 - 1200 mm (40.2 - 47.2 in.) 3 12
1200 - 1380 mm (47.2 - 54.3 in.) 3 15
1380 - 1560 mm (54.3 - 61.4 in.) 4 16
1. Join two rail segments. Tighten the top
four M6x20 screws (a) slightly.
2. Lock the locking hook (b) on the lower
guide section.
Tighten the two lower M6x16 screws
(c) slightly.
3. Engage the upper locking hook (d). 4. If necessary, align the two segments
with one another.
Tighten all the M6 screws (4 at the top,
2 at the bottom).
