Bracing with side supports is needed to give
stability to ceiling mounted Overhead systems
depending on bracket lengths.
Straight rail and Traverse systems
Length of bracket < 800 mm, (< 32 inch.):
No need of side supports.
Length of bracket 800 > 1500 mm, (32 > 60 inch.):
Side supports should be mounted to the first and
the last bracket and in between those to every
third bracket, positioned perpendicular to the rail
in a Straight rail system and to both primary rails in
a Traverse system.
One Side support should be mounted to the first
or last pendant, positioned parallel to the rail in a
Straight rail system and to both the primary rails in
a Traverse system.
