Concrete Ceiling With Suspended Ceiling; Mounting With Pendling Brackets - Invacare Robin Installation And Technical Manual

5.2.2 Concrete ceiling with suspended ceiling

For rooms with suspended ceilings which are difficult to dismount, it is recommended to choose a solution with
wall-mounted or wall support mounted rails.
If the false ceiling can be easily removed or in case of a new mounting of a fixed suspended ceiling, we recommend
an installation with lowering brackets for aesthetic reasons. For this solution, use the lowest rail profile S.

5.2.2.1 Mounting with pendling brackets

In the case of ceiling mounting, it may often be necessary to pendle the rail downward. This need may arise in the
even of mounting in a room with a suspended ceiling, where you have to pendle between the original ceiling and
the suspended ceiling, or if the ceiling is so high that you have to pendle the rail down in order to ensure that the
hoist's lifting intervals are used as well as possible.
There are more possibilities when carrying out an mounting with pendles:
The first is pendling using threaded rods and round spacer pipes, cut on-site at the installation place.
Mounting by using this method is described in detail in section 5.2.2.
The other possibility is mounting using adjustable pendles. This pendle consists of an upper and lower part.
By pushing the upper part onto the outside of the lower part, the adjustable pendle may cover a given interval.
As standard, a pendle can be supplied with the following intervals:
•
200 - 300 mm
•
280 - 460 mm
•
440 - 740 mm
When the correct pendle spacing has been determined in connection with the assembly, the pendle is pulled out
to this length, and fastened with a screw. Then a hole is drilled all the way through to an M8x65 bolt to lock the
pendle in the desired length.
The upper part of the pendle should be mounted in the ceiling as described in section 5.2.1 or 5.2.3 as when
mounting with standard bracket. The lower part of the pendle should be attached to the final standard ceiling
fitting, as shown in the sketch below:
1. Pendle, upper part.
2. Pendle underpart.
3. Spacer pipe through lowered ceiling, Ø15.
4. Standard ceiling bracket.
5. Through locking bolt, M8x65.
The pendle may also be supplied with predetermined dimensions, avoiding adjustment on-site. When using this
method, 2 weeks delivery time must be expected.
Note! Remember also to order ceiling brackets when ordering pendle.
