General conditions
Installation in corrosive surroundings
Special guidelines must be observed when installing the
rail system around swimming pools, etc.
The surfaces of the brackets used, traverse travelling
trolleys, etc., must be painted. Hoists, switch tracks,
Combi-locks, etc., must be supplied with a special surface
treatment.
All fixing elements, nuts, washers, threaded rods, must be
acid-proof.
Acid-proof threaded rods and dual-component adhesive
must be used for installation in concrete, tiles, etc.
Through-going threaded rods or acid-proof screws must
be used for installation in wood.
Particular care should be taken to avoid damaging the
surface of painted components.
Washers made of synthetic material must be used in
between painted surfaces and nuts and ordinary washers.
Damaged paint must be repaired after installation, and
visible threaded rods, nuts, washers, etc., must be covered
with paint RAL 9010 – white.
Hidden threaded rods, nuts, washers, and brackets in the
rail track must be treated with a silicone coating.
Wherever possible, nuts must be fitted with protective
caps.
There must be no swarf, dirt, or other impurities in the
rail system as they will accumulate moisture and lead to
corrosion.
Bearings in traverse travelling trolleys must be treated with
a silicone coating before installation.
NB!
Midi-rails with charging liners must not be used in corrosive
or dusty surroundings (areas around swimming pools and
at riding schools).
Quality designation for bolts, etc.
A4/AISI 316 = acid-proof
A2/AISI 304/rustproof 18.8 = not acid-proof
Installing rail systems with rated loads of more than
250 kg (550 lbs)
Certain precautions must be taken when installing rail
systems with rated loads of more than 250 kg (550 lbs).
Room-covering rail systems and straight rail sections
including rail curves can be installed in cases where there
is a rated load of more than 250 kg (550 lbs). Other rail
components must not be used.
A heavy duty model traverse travelling trolley must be used
in connection with room-covering rail systems.
Bracket types must be chosen in accordance with the list
of components, certain types of bracket must not be used
in connection with these installations.
Rails must be installed on top of the fitting when wall brack-
ets and floor posts are used.
The mutual distance between brackets must be adapted to
the type of rail in question in accordance with the instruc-
tions.
Two installation elements, must be used per bracket when
installing the system in a concrete ceiling or wall, in accor-
dance to the list page 40-41.
Ceilings and walls made of materials other than concrete
must be carefully inspected and tested for suitability.
Special care should be taken when testing at 1.5 times the
rated load.
