The special cold rolled monorail tracks are available in 4 sizes, each is indicated by 6 figures: 230.000, 240.000, 250.000 and 260.000.
The standard lengths are 6 m. Intermediate lengths are also available. In a monorail project all tracks are cut to the exact dimensions.
Execution
The tracks can be supplied in three different finishes:
The track is painted and not drilled.
In this case the second series of 3 figures is indicated by: ...000...
The track is painted, drilled and tapped (at both sides) for a jointing bracket. In this case the second series of 3 figures is indicated by: ...100...
The track is painted, drilled and tapped (at both sides) for a connecting piece. In this case the second series of 3 figures is indicated by: ...300...
Identification
The tracks are indicated by a number of 9 figures.
The first series of 3 figures indicates the track type: 230......
The second series of 3 figures indicates the finishing: ... 100 ... The third series of 3 figures indicates the length: ...... 300
In the standard execution the tracks are supplied with an orange premium finish coating RAL 9006. The tracks can be supplied in other colours. By request the tracks can be supplied galvanized (hot dipped), zinc plated or with an epoxy coating.
In Addition
The tracks type 230.000 and 240.000 are also available sendzimir galvanized. In this case the second array of three numbers is indicated by: ...001... .
Static Loading
Static load Fs with deflection f = 1/400 x Xs or f = 1/500 x Xs and a maximum deflection stress of 1000 kg/cm2, taking into account the deflection due to the track’s own weight.
See Static Loading scheme
Practical values
In the table are some practical values of the maximum carrying capacity F in kg and for the equally divided load Q in kg/m as a function of the distance between brackets Xs in mm. These values apply for monorail applications.
Remark
In general a monorail system is fixed with the brackets to a steelwork consisting of IPE-girders.
While calculating the steelwork, it is very important to respect an f max according to the application:
f max < 1/400 for monorails in single straight tracks
f max < 1/500 for monorails in the stock areas of the circuit
Please contact our engineering department for applications with heavy impact loads, or in the case of F or Q > 1000 kg (/m).
