Product Description and Functional Principles
4.1
Brief description
Single-pole insulated conductor rails consist of individual conductor rails firmly fixed on a guideway. One or more current collectors
fastened to one or more mobile consumers engage with the conductor rails with their current collector heads. The mobile consumers
move along the guideway in a linear, track-guided manner. The current collector follows the movement of the mobile consumer and
compensates for guideway deviations between the mobile consumer and the conductor rails (horizontally and vertically).
The electrical energy is transmitted into the conductor rail through line feeds and then fed to the current collector. The current collector
head of the current collector is pressed against the conductor rail with a continuous contact pressure. The electrical energy is
transferred to the current collector head through the contact point and to the mobile consumer through a connecting cable on the
current collector.
The SinglePowerLine 0813 Conductor Rail System is a modular conductor rail system for customer installation of an electrical power
supply for moving, rail-guided parts or ring arrangements. Any number of poles can be combined in conductor rail systems.
The conductor bar material is available as aluminum with a stainless steel strip, CopperECO and copper.
The connection to the power supply network is made via line feed connectors with a connection capability on the connector.
Expansion units are available to compensate for temperature-related linear expansion. Air gaps can be used for the galvanic isolation
of sections.
Examples of applications are:
◼
Crane systems
◼
Container stacking, steel mills or STS cranes
◼
People Movers
