Adjusting Expansion Elements
Adjust the expansion gap during installation depending on the actual expansion temperature
The required expansion gap can be read off the following diagrams (see sections 7.2.1 to 7.2.4). The expansion gap
must be adjusted on each expansion element in the expansion module.
The diagrams below were prepared based on a full temperature span of 40 K and guarantee simplicity of adjustment.
7.2.1
Case 1: Copper Conductor Rail on Steel Load Profile
The copper conductor rail expands more during changes in temperature than does the steel load profile.

7.2.2
Case 2: Copper conductor rail on aluminum load profile
The aluminum load profile expands more during changes in temperature than does the copper conductor rail.
