MK6 pads have been specially designed for the soft mounting of crane rails, being mounted either continuously on steel, or mixed on concrete and steel, along with fixing clips.

• are manufactured as a vulcanized synthetic elastomer strip, reinforced with a steel strip. The upper face is grooved.

• reduce the wear of the rail and its support :

- absorb the uneven surfaces;

- improve the contact between rail and support.

• are specially resistant to wear, shear, crushing, oil, greases, oxygen and ultra-violet rays.

• are designed for service temperatures from –25°C up to 100°C. For other temperatures, please consult us.

• reduce noise and vibration : noise : typical reduction of 10 % in dbA levels.

vibrations : typical reduction of 48 %.

Material characteristics:

• Composition : synthetic elastomer reinforced with a steel strip.

• Shore hardness : 75°A ± 5° (DIN 53505).

• Tensile strength (ASTM D 412C) : 12.5 N/mm 2 as supplied – 10.5 N/mm 2 after ageing.

• Elongation : 250 % as supplied – 200 % after ageing.

• Permanent deformation (acc. to BS 903 part A6) : < 5 % as supplied – < 20 % after ageing.
Designations and dimensions:

LN = norminal width, according to the rail foot. The effective width is reduced, always 5 to 8 mm less than the rail foot

width.

Ex. : for mounting a A120 rail (foot width : F = 220 mm) : MK6-RB-220

• MK6 pads are supplied in standard lengths of 12 m, with tolerance of ± 50 mm.

Smaller lengths (minimum 4 m) can be supplied : please consult us.

• For particular applications (namely circular tracks), very small lengths can be supplied, designed according to the

track characteristics. Their ends could then be skew or “V” cut, or rounded… according to the application : please

consult us.
