COMPACT RAIL (pdf; EN) - Rollon

6 Installation instructionsInstalling the single railThe T- and K-rails can be installed in two positions relative to the externalforce. For axial loading of the slider (fig. 99. pos. 2), the load capacity isreduced because of the decline in contact area caused by the change inposition. Therefore, the rails should be installed in such a way that the loadon the rollers acts in the radial direction (fig. 99, pos. 1). The number offixing holes in the rail in combination with screws of property class 10.9is dimensioned in accordance with the load capacity values. For criticalapplications with vibrations or higher demand for rigidity, a support of therail (fig. 99, pos. 3) is advantageous.This reduces deformation of the sides and the load on the screws. Theinstallation of a rail with countersunk holes requires an external referencefor alignment. This reference can also be used simultaneously as rail supportif required. All information in this section on alignment of the rails,refers to rails with cylindrical countersunk holes. Rails with countersunkholes self-align using the specified fixing hole pattern (see pg. 60, fig. 95 ).1 2 3Fig. 9962 www.rollon.com
