1.4: Installation methods

MilkyWay offers several different alternatives for installation of straight rails and rail curves on the ceiling. Depending

on factors such as ceiling height, material and structure, different ceiling brackets and/or pendants can be used.

MilkyWay also features several alternatives for wall-mounting of free bearing rail systems.

Regardless of which installation method is used, the completed installation must always comply with the

requirements for safety. It is also essential for the performance that deflection of the rails is avoided,

see 2: Important information.

1.4.1: Installation on the ceiling

Ceiling brackets

Ceiling brackets are available in several models. The choice depends, among other factors, on the structure and

material of the ceiling. Ceiling brackets feature different build-in dimensions and are installed with one or two fixings.

Ceiling brackets can be easily installed on concrete, flush with the surface, and adjusted from the rail.

For more information about MilkyWay ceiling brackets, see 8: Ceiling fixtures - brackets and pendants.

Pendants

Pendants enable installation of a rail system onto a high ceiling, while still allowing for the correct distance between

rail and floor (2300 mm). Pendants are available in several models and variants. All pendants are very stable and

easy to install. They are also, either steplessly or with fixed intervals, variable in length to enable correct height

adjustment. This feature facilitates both design and installation of the system. It also enables adaptation to the

room and the lifting needs at hand.
