STEP 13 - RUNWAY CONDUCTOR BAR INSTALLATION (SAFPOWRBAR®) (CONT.)
(for Safe-Lec Runway Conductor Bar Installation, go back to Step 12, page 18)
Mounting Conductor Bar and Brackets (Continued)
• For 8” and 8-1/2” Tarca® track with wheels 5” diameter or less, the conductor bar
mounting brackets are mounted across the top flange of the track. Attach brackets by
fitting the notched ends over the top flange of the beam and securing with the provided
screw, lockwasher, and hexnut (
diagram 13C
).
Note:
Bracket configuration shown
may be different than yours.
• For Tarca® track 10” and taller, the conductor bar mounting bracket is mounted to the
pre-drilled Tarca® web holes. Attach brackets by inserting provided bolts through the
near side bracket, through the holes in the beam web, and through the far side
bracket, securing brackets with lockwashers and hexnuts (
diagram 13D
).
Note:
Bracket configuration shown may be different than yours.
Based on wheel size, brackets will be mounted in “high” (8” from the rail tread to the
underside of the conductor bar) or “low” (6-3/16” from the rail tread to the underside of
the conductor bar) positions. Low position is used when carriers have 5” diameter or
smaller wheels. High position is used when carriers have 7” or smaller, but greater
than 5” diameter wheels (5000 series and larger Tarca® rail only).
13.4
The standard spacing for the mounting brackets on straight rail sections (web and flange
mounted) is 5’-6”.
*Light rails typically have holes drilled every 33”; it is only necessary to use every other
set of holes.
