9.0 SYSTEM

9.1 TRACK AND RAIL

Track and rail shall be designed to be attached on top of concrete floor and allow for leveling adjustment for uneven floor.

Track and rail shall be located and positioned in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, leveled and grouted allowing for a minimum of .5 inch of grout under the track and rail from the high spot in the floor. Completely fill void between the track and rail with a non-stick grout. Shimming of rails will not be acceptable. Each track and rail shall have a minimum width of 2-3/8 inches. All track and rail shall extend completely under all stationary ranges.

Track and rail shall be level not exceeding .0625-inch maximum variation from true level within any module and .0625-inch maximum variation between adjacent rails perpendicular to rail direction. The track and rail shall be a minimum of .0625-inch height and be constructed of solid 1008 steel. Each section of track and rail shall be a minimum of 118 inches with shorter length used only to terminate each individual rail assembly. In addition, each end of the track and rail shall be connected by means of twin stainless steel dowels pinned between the track and rail splice. The splice shall be connected by means of twin stainless steel dowels pinned between the track and rail splice. The splice shall be designed and sized for the most severe operating conditions. Connection joints shall demonstrate vertical and horizontal continuity and gradually transfer the concentrated wheel load to and from adjoining rail sections.

The grout used shall be a ready-mixed high strength; controlled expansive grout with superior dynamic load stability, which when mixed with water shall harden rapidly to produce a permanent foundation. Grout shall be non-corrosive, non-metallic and non-shrink. The grout after curing shall have a minimum strength of 8,000 pounds per square inch. Grout shall reduce rail deflection, maintain alignment and eliminate separation.

•  DECKING AND RAMP

Construct deck of minimum of .75-inch particleboard.

Finish flooring shall be flush and level with the top of the rails.

No open gaps will be permitted between the flooring and the track and rail.

Each wheel shall be fitted with two permanently sealed and lubricated bearings. Wheels with a single, center wheel bearing are not acceptable. Dynamic load rating on wheel bearings shall be a minimum of 4,440 pound per wheel.

9.4 WHEELS

Wheels shall be 5.625 inches effective diameter, precision ground and balanced and constructed of suitable material for smooth operation and housing the appropriate load rating for each carriage. Two-guide wheel are required for each guide track or rail. A minimum of two guide rails are required per carriage, a minimum of four guide wheels shall be incorporated into each carriage.

Drive shaft to be solid steel and a minimum of .75 inch. Drive shaft shall be a non-load-bearing member of the drive train for ease of locomotion and service. Couplers shall be securely pinned and/or doweled into place to eliminate any and all play or looseness in the drive mechanisms.
