6.2.2 Guide Rail Types
Guide rails with integrated optical scales do not differ from standard guide rails in cross-sectional geometry.
However, the product range is limited in terms of fixing options:
| Size / Guide Rail Type | N Standard | NU Fastened from Below | C For Steel Band Cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size 15 | AMS 4B S 15-ND* | - | AMS 4B S 15-CD* |
| Size 20 | AMS 4B S 20-N | - | AMS 4B S 20-C |
| Size 25 | AMS 3B/4B/3L S 25-N | AMS 3B S 25-NU | AMS 3B/4B S 25-C |
| Size 30 | AMS 4B S 30-N | - | AMS 4B S 30-C |
| Size 35 | AMS 3B/4B/3L S 35-N | AMS 3B S 35-NU | AMS 3B/4B S 35-C |
| Size 45 | AMS 3B/4B/3L S 45-N | AMS 3B S 45-NU | AMS 3B/4B S 45-C |

MONORAIL AMS guide rails do not differ from standard MONORAIL guide rails in mechanical characteristics. Therefore, detailed information on:
- Tolerances for guide rail length and fixing holes
- Permissible screw tightening torques
- Permissible lateral forces without locating surfaces
- Guide rail types, fixing methods and maximum single-piece guide rail length
