Durable aluminum rail for welding curtain, sold by the linear foot

AGCG100 - Heavy-duty aluminum rail, sold by the linear foot

The AGCG100 heavy-duty rail is a sturdy aluminum profile designed for industrial installations requiring excellent rigidity and durability. Sold by the linear foot, this rail is the ideal base for industrial curtain systems, movable partitions, or workspace dividers.

Made of thick aluminum, it offers a reliable solution for demanding environments where stability and alignment precision are essential.

Features of the reinforced aluminum profile

This industrial rail profile is 0.125" thick, providing increased resistance to loads and mechanical stress. Its dimensions of 1 in. wide by 2 -1/2 in. high allow for optimal compatibility with mounting accessories dedicated to the AGCG range.

Each length can reach a maximum of 15 or 20 feet. For installations requiring a longer span, several sections can be connected using the sturdy AGCG104 fastener, ensuring a solid and continuous joint. Please note that, for lengths greater than 8 ft, you must contact customer service for a quote.  

Properties of the heavy-duty mounting guide

When AGCG102 rollers are used with the AGCG100 track, the combined height of the track + rollers + S-hook is 6 inches if you use a suspended installation. If you are using the floor post (AGCG110), then you need to retract 7 inches from the curtain. This dimension must be subtracted from the total available height to determine the final height of the curtain.

This information is essential for accurately calculating the final height of the curtain or panel, ensuring a functional and stress-free installation.

Applications of support for industrial curtain systems

This aluminum guide rail is used in many industrial applications, including:

• Protective curtain systems,
• Workspace dividers,
• Flexible or movable partitions,
• Installations requiring smooth movement of suspended panels.

It is particularly suitable for workshops, factories, welding stations, and modular industrial environments.

Restrictions on specific structure rails

The AGCG100 rail must be used with compatible AGCG series accessories to ensure the safety and durability of the system. Any modification, overload, or use with unsuitable components may adversely affect the overall performance of the installation.

For longer lengths, the use of the AGCG104 connector is mandatory.

Maintenance and service life of a long-lasting aluminum rail

This industrial aluminum rail requires very little maintenance. Periodic visual inspection is recommended to check the alignment of the rail and the tightness of the fasteners.

Thanks to its robust design and the natural corrosion resistance of aluminum, the AGCG100 offers extended service life, even in demanding industrial environments.

Accessories compatible with the AGCG rail system

 For a complete, durable, and functional installation, the heavy-duty AGCG100 rail is designed to be used with the following accessories:

🔩 AGCG104 heavy-duty rail connector

This steel connector allows two lengths of AGCG100 rail to be joined together to achieve a greater span. It ensures precise alignment and robust mechanical continuity of the rail, which is essential for long installations or those with distributed loads.

➡️ For longer lengths, the use of the AGCG104 connector is mandatory.

🛞 AGCG102 and AGCG103 riveted rollers, mobile suspension system

AGCG102 and AGCG103 rollers, made of nylon with a steel frame and integrated S-hook, allow for the suspension and smooth movement of industrial curtains on the AGCG100 rail.

🟦 AGFC004 Translucent Vinyl Industrial Curtain Material

AGFC004 green translucent vinyl (14 mils) is perfectly compatible with the AGCG100 track for creating industrial curtains, particularly for:

• Welding stations,
• Visual separation of work areas,
• Protection from splashes and light.

This material is sold by the square foot, allowing for custom designs.

FAQs about the heavy-duty AGCG100 rail

What is the maximum length of an AGCG100 rail without fasteners?

Each section of the AGCG100 track can measure up to a maximum of 15 or 20 feet. For any length greater than this, it is mandatory to use the heavy-duty AGCG104 fastener to ensure the strength and alignment of the system.

How do I calculate the height of the curtain to be installed on this rail?

When the rail is used with AGCG102 rollers, allow for a 6-inch loss in height corresponding to the rail + rollers + S-hook assembly if you use a suspended installation. If you are using the floor post (AGCG110), then you need to retract 7 inches from the curtain.

The height of the curtain must, therefore, be calculated, taking this dimension into account.

Is this track suitable for demanding industrial environments?

Yes. The AGCG100 is made of thick aluminum (0.125") and designed for heavy-duty industrial applications, including workshops, factories, and welding stations. It offers excellent mechanical strength and durability.

Can this track be used with accessories other than those in the AGCG series?

It is strongly recommended that only AGCG-compatible accessories (AGCG104, AGCG102, etc.) be used to ensure the safety, performance, and durability of the system.

Can Sylprotec help me design my installation?

Absolutely.
