Hi all, this is my first time posting and I looked through the archives but didn't quite find any info relevant to what i'm looking to know. I'm probably giving too much info, but I figure too much is better than too little.
Here's the deal.
We have a 34' run of track (McMaster-Carr) running across stage. It's in smaller segments that are connected, but it's all been leveled.
The track is connected to the grid (about 11' from the deck) with eye bolts, chain and shackles.
In the track we have a carrier that is connected by steel rod to a 6'x8' box steel framed plexi panel. The floor has a guide cut into it and the panel has knives in the bottom.
So, functionality isn't much of an issue now, but sound is. We're trying to find a way to reduce the noise that is made as the carrier in the track guide back and forth.
I'm sure a simple answer is to get a better track that is designed to be silent, but this track is what was within out budget.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
