The C rail profile is
available in lengths up to six metres and can be
supplied for lines 5, 6 and 8 of the Item range,
depending upon the load characteristics required for the
structure. Each C rail can be used with three types of
slider bearing units which are used for supporting the
moving parts of the structure. Bearing units can be
supplied with a single plastic roller bearing set to
accommodate light loads not subject to lateral
deflection.
Where heavier loads are anticipated, or more robust
guidance is required, then a hardened steel shaft can be
fitted carrying a double ball-bearing Vee roller.
For optimum performance, a second guide shaft can
also be incorporated which prevents tilting of the
sliding door when moved.
For the highest levels of load and guidance
requirements, a bearing set bogey comprising the robust
double ball-bearing Vee rollers is used with twin
hardened steel guidance shafts for high precision
movement and tilt-free operation.
C rail and bearing units fitted to the top and bottom
of sliding elements can also be employed for optimum
performance.
Multiple C rail systems can also be used together for
independent overlapping doors, or for creating
telescopic guides to produce long sliding elements made
up with several relatively short individual guide
lengths. For structures where the use of individual
bearing units may not be appropriate (ie for aesthetic
purposes or climate controlled environments), then a
continuous length slide rail profile can be utilised.
This can be cut to size from a six metre length and
then fitted with appropriate bearing roller sets on
suitable spacings to meet the installation requirements.
Caps to seal off the cut ends of both the C rail and
slide profile rails can also be supplied. |
