Rail comes in 1 meter lengths (39 inches). Each piece of rail has two conducting sections separated by an insulating layer. Straight rail and various types of curved rail are available. Pieces of curved rail can be used individually, or combined to form circles of 2 ft, 4 ft. 6 ft. or 8 ft. diameter. Rail can be cut with a hacksaw to provide any desired length.

Straight Rail

"S" Curved Rail

90° Curved Rail - 4 pieces form 4ft diameter circle.

45° Curved Rail - 8 pieces create 8ft diameter circle.

Connectors are used to join rail and are available in the following shapes in order to create a desired design:

• Straight - for joining two pieces of rail. (conductive and insulated)
• "L" - for joining two pieces of rail at any angle for 20 degrees to 180 degrees.
• "T" - for joining three pieces of rail, two in a straight line and the third at a variable angle.
• "X" - for joining four pieces of rail.

Key mounting hardware includes:

Straight Connector

"L" Connector

Straight Insulating Connector

Note: All connectors are conductive except straight connectors. Straight insulating connectors (pictured above on the far right) are made of nonconducting plastic and insulate the pieces electrically, allowing for separate circuits and controls on a section of joined rail.

Fixtures can be attached to rail in a number of ways. Some fixtures (Trapeze, Galleria, Swing) attach directly to the rail while others (Saturn, Radar, Pendant) attach to the rail via a Universal Connector. See fixture specifications for lamp requirements and glass and hood options.

Universal Connecter - With Radar I and Starlight Dome

Trapeze - with Reflecto Lamp

Supports for installing Amtrax systems are available in a variety of types and finishes. It can be either ceiling mounted or wall mounted with acrylic or metal supports.

Acrylic Wall Support

Acrylic Ceiling Support

In more complex installations Amtrax can be suspended from the ceiling using either stems or cabling. A Stem/Cable Mount is attached to the ceiling, stems or cabling attached to the mount and then attached to the rail using a Ceiling Support.

Metal Round Wall Support

Stem/Cable Swivel Mount

Lamps come in a wide array of types, strengths, and beam spreads. See fixtures for specific lamp requirements.

Lamps are used to enhance the appearance of a fixture and are available in two types: lamp supplements and glass/shades. See fixtures and lamps for available options.

Center Feed - Electrical connection of the rail is done through a Center Feed.
