- Maximum load capacity 5kg
- Maximum Speed 60m/min
- Zinc Electro Plated / Epoxy Enamel Paint / Synthetic Paint
- Operating Temperature: -30°C to 90°C
SELECTION CRITERIA
The function of Festoon System is to feed power supply to a moving machine. For proper selection of cable carriers it is suggested first determine the number of conductors, size and capacity and over what distance it has to travel. Then calculate the no. of loops, stored length of trolleys based on available space for a loop height. Check whether the stored length along with collector is within the width of the moving equipment. Finally pre‑existing conditions must be taken into account. These may include the use of an existing track, electrical termination or that of adverse environmental conditions.
- Determine required number of cables & diameter / size of cables.
- Select the trolley based on the available width & number of tires (Deck).
- Determine length of cable. Cable length = Total travel length × 1.1
- Decide loop depth according to the height available.
- Calculate number of trolley: Number of trolley = Cable Length / (2 × loop length)
- Calculate Storage Length: Storage Length = (Number of trolley + End Cap / Fixed Trolley) × Width of Trolley
- If this length exceeds the length of machine, extra track length will be needed to accommodate the trolley in storage position.
STANDARD DUTY C-TRACK SYSTEMS
C‑TRACK Festoon Cable Systems are the durable, all‑purpose workhorse of the industry, and are suitable for a host of applications. The track is made of 14 gauge galvanized steel and comes in convenient lengths which simply bolt together.
FEATURES
- 14 gauge galvanized or stainless steel track
- Trolley styles: Steel
- Maximum capacity: 20kg
- Speed: 70m/min
- Zinc Electro Plated / Epoxy Enamel Paint / Synthetic Paint
- Operating Temperature: -30°C to 90°C
I-BEAM SYSTEMS
I‑Beam Systems Festoon trolleys are designed and constructed to fit varying beam sizes with adjustable chassis. These trolleys are made of steel with speed about 60m/min and load carrying capacity for four‑wheel trolley up to 400kg. Ideally used for monorails. Available as Light, Medium and Heavy Duty.
Light Duty I-Beam
FEATURES
- Maximum Load: 30 kg
- Maximum Speed: 70m/min
- Wheels: Steel
- Zinc Electro Plated / Epoxy Enamel Paint / Synthetic Paint
- Operating Temperature: -30°C to 90°C
Medium Duty I-Beam
Medium Duty I‑Beam are available in various versions.
FEATURES
- Maximum load capacity: 50‑80 kg/trolley
- Speed: 60m/min
- Zinc Electro Plated / Epoxy Enamel Paint / Synthetic Paint
- Operating Temperature: -30°C to 90°C
Heavy Duty I-Beam
Heavy Duty I‑Beam can handle the most rugged industrial applications such as port container cranes, steel mill cranes, bulk material handling conveyor systems.
FEATURES
- Maximum load capacity: 200‑400 kg/trolley
- Hot dipped galvanized steel components can be supplied on request
- Cable Carrier Box formed from a single piece of steel up to 5mm thickness
- Rolled cable carrier box edges to prevent damage to cable
- Zinc electro plated / Epoxy Enamel Paint / Synthetic Paint
- Steel rollers with permanently sealed ball bearings
- 125, 150, 200 diameter of cable carrier to accommodate wide range of cables (more diameter can be made on request)
Trolleys can also be manufactured with more than one cable carrier box to accommodate more cables.
Light and Medium Duty T-track systems
T‑Track systems are designed for applications where a more robust construction is required to support heavier tools at wider support spacing. Made of high strength, these systems are rugged enough to handle the most demanding applications.
