RAIL INTRODUCTION

The backbone of any monorail or crane system is the rail. At TC/American Monorail, we manufacture railsspecifically designed to provide the maximum in strength, flexibility and durability.

Our rails use high carbon-manganese steel, raised flat operating flanges, and close tolerances to give maximumstrength and long life while keeping weight to a minimum. These special alloy steel rails with close tolerancesprovide many years of dependable service compared to common structural steel beams which are mild steel and notprecision made.

TC/American Monorail offers numerous standard rail configurations for a variety of applications up to twenty ton ormore capacity. All rails, splices and end stops are furnished with TC/American Monorail gray, high quality enamel.

1. 200 Series: For a variety of applications up to and including two ton. Unique Twin-Section design withnarrow flange and lap splices results in remarkable ease of trolley propulsion and makes it ideal for manualsystems. Twin section rail is lightweight, easy to handle, and curves can be bent in the field, if necessary.

2. 325 Series: TC/American Monorail's 325 Series Girder Rail is manufactured by unique welding andfabricating methods. The Flange, Web and Tee Section are joined together by a continuous submerged arcautomatic welding process and computer designed to assure minimum weight and maximum strength. Toobtain minimum tread wear, TC/American Monorail's 325 Series Girder Rail utilizes a specially rolled TeeSection with a high carbon-manganese alloy steel, raised, flat operating flange.

3. 400 Series Rail: Available either as "Railmaster," a rolled, 12" deep section or as "Railmaster II," a threepiece welded rail similar in construction to the 325 and 450 Series rail. This rail series has a flat operatingflange.

4. 450 Series Rail: TC/American Monorail 450 Series Girder Rail, like the 325 Series Rail, is manufactured byunique welding and fabricating methods. TC/American Monorail 450 Series Girder Rail utilizes a speciallyrolled Tee Section with a high carbon-manganese alloy steel, raised, flat operating flange to assure long lifein the heaviest applications.

2R-401-BN RAIL CLAMPING BOLT & NUT

The automatic, positive, locking feature of the nuts andheads of the clamping bolts is unique. The bolt head andnut bind against the fillet or swell of the rail head. Thisdoes not prevent drawing the nuts tight wit a wrench, butthe binding resistance is sufficient to lock the bolt andnut securely in place. The bolts are special steel, heat-treated, having a tensile strength of 125,000 lbs. P.S.I.

The bolts are seated in slotted holes and are not subjectto shear stress in service or when rail is bent. Theclamping bolts are placed in the rail on 12-inch centersexcept at splicing points where additional bolts are used.

2H-407 HANGER

TC/AMERICAN track hangers are clampedsolidly inside the rail head. The rail has atremendous grip on the hanger which preventsall tendency toward “creeping”. The insideoverhang of the rail head rests on the squareprojecting shoulder of the hanger.

Weight – 1 lb.

2H-470 HANGER

The solid hanger provides direct suspension oftrack running under wood or steel super-structure. It is drilled for ½” bolts or lag screws,with holes spaced 2 ½” on center.

Weight – 2 ½ lbs.

2R3-5T ASSEMBLED RAIL

Track is assembled for shipment with hangers clamped in rail head spaced as required. Theillustration also shows the lap at end for splicing onto the meeting rail. The clamping bolts used ateach splicing point are so spaced that when necessary to bend the assembled rail in the field, thereare always matching holes for the clamping bolts. The slotted holes in which bolts are seated preventany shear stress on the bolt when rail is bent.

SPLICING METHOD

The lap splice in the system eliminates the use of splice clamps, staggers the joints, gives the runwaythe strength of a continuous rail, and does away completely with the roughness of a "butt" joint. In thisway the rail overcomes the handicap of the "butt" joint which has always been regarded as the weakpoint in overhead track systems. The wheels on trolleys pass over the splicing point on one side ofthe rail at a time without jolt, or far, or vibration. This illustration shows the lapping ends of twoassembled rail sections being brought together to form the splice. At the joint will be seen thealignment lug which brings the treads of the rail into vertical alignment. Note that the splice break inthe rail flange occurs 18 inches apart on opposite sides of the rail.



2/1/91 B-205.0

2ES-414 WHEEL END STOP

End stops bolted to both sides of the rail prevent trolleys from running off track ends. End stops arefurnished bolted in place where dead-end track sections are specified. Weight ― 1 lb.

NOTE: This end stop should be used on hand-pushed monorail and hand-pushed crane systems only.

2ES-416 END STOP

Where power-operated units are used, this end stop furnishes extra strength for a hard stop jolt and at thesame time keeps the current collectors in alignment with proper conductor bars. Weight ― 3 1/4 lbs.

2" GIRDER RAIL

TC/AMERICAN girder rail is made up with ASTM A36 top flange angles, web plate and 2R3-5T railsection joined together by a special automatic electrical welding process, forming a solid rail withexceptional strength. Rail depths from 7" thru 13 1/2" are available.

Outlines on the illustration show the assemblies available for various track connections. They shouldbe designated by the number given for ease in specification. When furnished for overlapping splice,sections are measured from center of lap as indicated. Lap splices should be located at the center ofsupport points. Since the method of splicing does give a substantial amount of continuous beamaction, the lap splices, in certain instances depending on loads and rail spans, may be located off thesupport point up to 18 inches.

NOTE: We recommend that fillers be used whenever possible for future extension of Monorail orCrane Systems.

SUSPENSION INTRODUCTION

Two methods of suspension are used to support monorail and crane systems fromsupporting structures. They are rigid and flexible type suspension. Each method has itsmerits when properly applied.

Rigid type suspension is accomplished by the use of flush clamps, direct bolting, or the useof special rigid hanger brackets and hanger rods. Properly designed, this type of suspensionwill include provisions for vertical adjustment necessary to accommodate future structuresettling.

Flexible type suspension is accomplished by the use of beam clamps or hangers attached tothe superstructure and the rail, joined by threaded hanger rods with spherical washers, seatsand nuts at both ends.

When using either rigid or flexible suspension on crane and monorail systems, the design ofsway bracing used is very critical and must withstand all horizontal forces and maintainalignment. See installation instructions for suggested procedures.

TC/American Monorail Inc. equipment is designed to be used with TC/American Monorailproducts. TC/American provides no warranty, expressed or implied, for compatibility of othermanufacturers' equipment.

TC/American cranes are designed and manufactured to the following codes andspecifications where applicable:

SWITCH AND CURVE INTRODUCTION

TC/American switches are used to increase the adaptability of a monorail system. They can be used toprovide spur tracks off a main track into any number of secondary tracks and to reconnect the tracks.

Crossover and turntable switches are used to cross two tracks at the same elevation at right angles. Liftsections are used to raise or lower a trolley and load without using a hoist or to connect two monorail tracksat different elevations. Track openers are used at doorways to provide for closing of fire doors if necessary.

Switches are available in two-way, right and left hand, wye, three-way, cross track and rotary configuration. The monorail layout will dictate which configuration will be required at each junction point.

TC/American Monorail switches are designed to maintain accurate alignment. The inner tongue or slidingframe assembly is contained in a rigid outer stationary frame. This stationary frame has suspension pointsfor hanger rods or direct bolting to support steel. The incoming rails and switch hangers are bolted to theswitch frame to allow for shimming to provide accurate rail tread alignment.

TC/American Monorail switches provide maximum protection to operators, loads, and trolleys. They areequipped with positive spring-loaded latching mechanisms for holding the inner frame in its correct positionwhile a trolley passes through the switch. Trolley stops are provided on inner frame to protect open incomingrails and on the outer to protect open switch tracks.

TC/American Monorail electrified switches are equipped with wiring harnesses to provide power to theconductor bars on the switch tracks. The wiring harnesses also serve as jumpers across the switches,providing power to connecting electric conductor bars and thus eliminating one or more feed-ins from theelectric power source.

Optional equipment for switches include electric and pneumatic operators, warning lights to indicate switchposition, electric baffles to prevent motorized carrier from running into a switch, and enclosures to protectfrom dirt and weather.

TC/American Monorail standard curves provide flexibility in track layouts. Future additions andrearrangements can be accomplished easily using these standard products. Special curves and reversebend curves can be supplied to suit individual layout requirements.

Monorail systems normally require additional support steel for switches and curves. They should beadequately braced for longitudinal and lateral support. All switch capacities are based on TC/Americanstandard trolleys.

TROLLEY INTRODUCTIONIn designing TC/American trolleys, the important factors of strength, ease of propulsion, and durability are givenforemost consideration. Design allows for ease of maintenance, attachment of optional fittings, and adaption tohoist. A variety of trolleys are available for light, medium, and heavy loads and for maximum head room. Trolleysare available for capacities from 250 lbs. to 24,000 lbs. and up to 30 tons can be carried with these trolleys bycombining them with load bars.

WHEELS: TC/American wheels are high strength steel, forged or rolled, with the treads andflanges of over 3” dia. wheels heat treated to a minimum hardness of 425 Brinnel.Wheels are available in 3” to 9” diameter tread sizes, both flanged and flangelessstyle.Wheel treads and bearing bore are remachined after heat treating to assureconcentricity. Wheel assemblies are suitable for use in temperatures up to 150 F.Bronze wheels, sealed bearings, high temperature bearings, etc. are availablefrom TC/American.

BEARINGS: TC/American trolley wheels use top quality precision ball or roller bearings. All wheelbearings have a minimum B-10 life of 5,000 hours. Standard wheel bearings areregreaseable with sealed type as an option.

GUIDE ROLLERS: Trolleys are available with lubricated and sealed precision ball bearing, heat treatedside guide rollers. These side roller trolleys are recommended for use on high speed,heavy service, and monorail systems with curves. This type of trolley can extend thewheel life and flanges on the edge of the rail. They also serve to guide the trolleys intoand out of curves, switches, and when operating at high speeds.

YOKES: Trolley yokes are forgings, ductile castings, or fabricated steel for ample capacity. Allyokes are of compact design to reduce bearing stress and gain maximum headroom.

LOAD BARS: Load bars are forgings, ductile castings, or fabricated steel. Load bars are used tocouple two-wheel trolleys to make four-wheel trolleys and four-wheel trolleys to makeeight-wheel trolleys. The load bars are captured inside yokes to gain maximumheadroom clearance, capacity, and free wheeling around curves.

ADAPTORS: Trolleys can be furnished with a variety of standard load eyes, hooks, swivels, andadapters. Two-wheeled trolleys can be used a single units or in units or in pairs forcarrying racks, hoists, or special carriers. However, a single two-wheel unit is notrecommended for carrying a hook or lug mounted hoist. Other types of fittings can befurnished for special applications.

TROLLEY CAPACITY: Trolley capacities are based on bearing life, total live load, impact, and accessories.
