Installing profile connections for craneway suspension M16

 

Now the profile connections are mounted in the profile head. The profile connections are used to later hang the crane track on the suspensions.

 

Baugröße

The figures show the installation of a steel HB profile rail of size HB150S. The installation of larger or smaller HB profile rails or aluminium HB profile rails does not differ significantly from this.

Verweis

This product manual describes the installing of profile connections for M16 suspensions. To install profile connections for M20 suspensions, see "Installing the ceiling-mounted bracket 4LP/M20 and craneway suspension M20".

 

 

Installing the profile connection

For every suspension:

*  Refer to the planning documents for the points intended for the profile connections. The specified dimensions, positions and clearances must be followed exactly.

 

 

Only with a suspension on a free profile rail section

This work step only applies if a suspension is to be installed in the free running area of the HB profile rail. This is the most common case.

 

Baugröße

The figures show a profile connection with a short tension nut (short suspension XS and S). The installation with a long tension nut (short suspension M and L, normal suspension) is the same.

Profile head

Bearing shell

*  Insert the profile connections in the profile head and move them up to the points specified in the planning documents.

The bearing shell in the ceiling-mounted bracket and on the profile link must always have the same colouring (silver or yellowish). Ceiling-mounted brackets and profile links with differently coloured bearing shells should not be installed together.

 

 

Rib screw M6x40

 

*  Screw in the M6x40 rib screws (2x) two to three revolutions. Do not yet screw them tight.

 

 

 

Only with a craneway suspension in the area of a clamping plate

This work step only applies if a suspension will be installed in the area of a profile joint.

Retaining cap

Profile link

*  Place the retaining cap on the profile línk.

*  Insert the M6x40 rib screws (2x) through the retaining cap and screw them in two to three revolutions. Do not yet screw them tight.

 

 

 

 

Releasing tension nuts

Only with normal suspension

 

In order for the profile connection to later be easily mounted on the suspension, the tension nuts must be released.

Profile connection

 

*  Unscrew the tension nut almost completely from the threaded rod of the profile connection.

Leave the tension nut screwed on the profile connection by one or two thread turns.

The undercut on the long tension nut does not need to be heeded in combination with the normal suspension.

*  Do not yet tighten the rib screws M6x40 (2x).

 

 

 

Only for short suspension XS and S

 

In order for the profile connection to later be easily mounted on the suspension, the tension nuts must be released.

Only for short suspension M and L

 

In order for the profile connection to later be easily mounted on the suspension, the tension nuts must be released.

The long tension nut should not be unscrewed too far on the threaded rod of the profile connection.
