Battcar switch systems cut sail stack height in half by automatically splitting cars onto two tracks. Switch system track is machined or extruded from 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodized for a long-lasting surface. Clear-anodized aluminum is available, but provides less protection than hardcoat anodizing.
26 mm flange track is available in bond and bolt-down versions. Bond track is joined to the mast with a structural adhesive to reduce weight aloft; eliminates the majority of track fasteners for lighter-weight system. Consult mast builder for bond track installation recommendations.
