500 Series walk-along tracks can be curved to virtually any shape or length. Cord operated tracks can be rigged with serpentine or reverse curves. The 500 Series is most often motorized, or manually cord operated for short runs and light weight curtains.
The ease of operation of a 500 Series track is dependent on several factors, including the radii of the curves and whether reverse bends are part of the track layout. In general, the tracks operate best around gentle curves. Whenever possible, it is recommended that layouts be designed with radii of 4 feet or larger. Tighter curves will result in a sytem that requires additional effort to operate.
Complete systems are sold on a per foot basis and include all components necessary for its specific operation. Carriers are always supplied on 12" centers. Additional carriers can be added but are not included in the Complete System Price.
