Make sure your installed roller guides meet ASME requirements by using ELSCO seismic retainer plates.
ELSCO seismic retainer plates are engineered and tested to meet ASME 17.1/CSA B44.19, section 8.4 requirements for seismic risk zones 2 or greater.
Seismic Retainer Plates
Made from 1/2″ (13 mm) plate steel, they are designed to meet ASME seismic requirements and are simple to install.
Seismic retainer plates are available for the following rails and ELSCO roller guides:
- Model A, Model B: 8#, 15#, 18#, 22# & 30# rails
- Express-3, Express-6: 15#, 18#, 22# & 30# rails
- SA-15, SA-8 slide guides: 8#, 15# & 18# rails
- Model C, Model D, SC-8 & SD-8 slide guides: 5.75#, 8#, 11#, 12#, 15# & 18# rails
- Model E: 8# & 15# rails
Bolt Pattern Mismatch?
Seismic Flex-Mount™ are also available to make it quicker, easier, and cheaper to install roller guides in seismic zones, when the existing bolt pattern and mounting bolt pattern do not line up.
The maximum capacity for using seismic Flex-Mount™ is 5,000 lbs (2,270 kg) for cars and for counterweights.
Seismic Flex-Mount™ are available for Express-3, Model A, Model B, SA-8, and SA-15 car guides on 15#, 18#, 22# & 30# rails, and for Model C, Model D, SC-8, and SD-8 counterweight guides on 8#, 15# & 18# rails.
