RIGID CHAIN FOR THEATER

SILENT RIGID CHAIN FOR THEATRE

The following information details our products for linear motion in theater. With 30 years of experience in the industry, our products have been specifically adapted for the theater. Our wealth of experience in the theatre industry comes from installations in well-known theatres around the world, including: Del Liceu Barcelone in Spain, Expo 2000 Hanover, Town hall Cottbus in Germany, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles and Memphis Theatre USA, Al Raha theatre in Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates, and Brighton Theatre Dome in UK. As well as on cruise liners, like the Dawn Princess, Grand Princess, Sea princess, Rhapsody of the Seas, Visions of the Seas, Carnival Victory, and Costa Atlantica Our range of products are separated into two families: Vertical and Horizontal Each has different chains, depending on the technical parameters. As the manufacturer of the system, we can provide the transmissions and the positioning system by using switches or an encoder.

HORIZONTAL TRANSFERS
1. Principle of Use The original principle of movement is based on driving a chain through the drive housing into a guide system. The chain is attached to the wagon by a mobile pin and the wagon is guided in the same guide track as the chain. This system enables the stage wagons to cross the complete stage left to right and front to rear, thus allowing a fast and diverse possibility of scenery changes. Our product range includes two chain sizes, 40 and 60, with selection depending on the effort required to transfer the loads. The systems are of modular design, making assembly on site easier (Note: the data sheets size 40 are not available in this document).

2. Technical Characteristics (SCT 60) - Maximum Load - Maximum Pushing Force - Maximum Speed - Maximum Height of Couple - Maximum Play in the Chain - Maximum Play under Compression - Noise Level of Chain through Guide - Noise Level of Chain through Drive Housing

These values are given for informational purposes only. We strongly recommend discussing each application with our engineering department to ensure the most cost effective solution. 4. Guiding Principle The chain runs on plastic rollers in an aluminum guide track. The rollers move on plastic rails, which ensure a low noise level. The steel corner plates are used to guide the wagon and interface with the wooden floor.

5. Motor Drive and Control The chain is driven by a geared motor. A cable is fixed to the front end link and placed on the chain, which drives an encoder permitting exact positional control of the wagon.
