Powerail Enclosed Conductor System
This system features an insulated housing with multiple conductors. It is ideal for overhead use where splashing, dust or debris and touch safety is a concern. The current collectors are self guiding in the housing. Entry and exit funnels are available for systems that required electrical contact zones. The aluminum housing can be annodized and can be configured with a heating cable.
Typical applications: Outdoor application in hard environments such as salt air.

Insulated Enclosed Conductor Systems
These systems feature individual insulated conductors that can be used stacked and in combination. Isolation and feed sections are available for test, power-up and power down zones. Entry and exit funnels can be installed for applications that require collector entry and exit such as electrical contact zones. Aluminum conductors with a stainless steel insert us available for special applications (paper mills etc.)
Typical applications: Crane Runways, AS/RS Cranes, Floor Conveyors, Skillet Lines, Roller Conveyors, Test Lines, Transfer Cars, Elevators, Sortation Systems
