Suspension systems

Suspension systems are structures that are attached to the ceiling or another high support point. Various objects: such as gates, loads are suspended from these systems using a cable, chain, or other means.

Where suspended systems are used:

Suspension Cantilever Gates

Suspension cantilever gates are a type of gate that is suspended from an upper beam, unlike ground-mounted cantilever gates. This makes them ideal for locations where there is limited ground space or where snow cover can interfere with gate operation.

They consist of a metal gate frame that is suspended on special carriages and is driven by roller carriages that slide along a cantilever beam.

What a suspension system consists of and how it worksа

Cantilever beam — a metal rail that is attached to the ceiling or other high support point, into which carriages are installed. For sliding gates, beams with a length of 5 m or more are used.

Suspension carriages — mechanisms consisting of a metal base with a hole for fastening. Rollers with bearings are mounted on it, which ensure the movement of the carriage along the guide beam and move the load or gate.

Beam plugs — rubber or metal parts that tightly close the beam holes at the edges. They prevent the ingress of dirt, dust and other small particles. The plugs also help to reduce the noise level caused by vibration and friction during the movement of the carriages along the cantilever beam.

Rollers guide plate — A mechanism consisting of two or more rollers that are attached to a metal plate. It is installed under the gate so that the gate frame is located between the rollers. The guide plate helps to prevent the gate from swinging during movement.
