1.2: Straight rails
MilkyWay straight rails are available in three different rail profiles and in several lengths. All MilkyWay rails are
prepared for in-rail charging. For more information about available MilkyWay straight rails; article numbers and
technical data, please consult the “MilkyWay Technical information” document.
Each rail profile offers its own unique performance
Rail 64
is the standard straight rail. It can be used in basic rail systems, with or without curves
and switches. It is used in most applications installed using ceiling brackets and/or pendants.
Rail 64 can be supported with a bolt-on rail for higher rigidity, see 4.2: Supported cross-rails.
Rail 120
features a higher profile and is therefore more rigid. It is used in applications with a
longer free span between attachment points. Rail 120 is often used as a secondary rail in a
(x-y)/traverse system or as a long single rail in a basic rail system.
Rail 160
features the highest profile and rigidity. It is used in applications with a free span of up to
7000 mm between attachment points, usually in large rooms with vertical supports.
Rail 160 can also be used as a secondary rail in large (x-y)/traverse systems.
