High Current Contactors for Work Rod Systems
Pneumatically Activated High Current Contacts 4000 -
20000 A
With Moveable Spring Loaded Pneumatically Activated Contact Fingers
druseidt System
This is a new druseidt product range which came
about because of application problems. Since pneumatically
activated contacts are mainly used with high current levels and
heavier bus-bars, problems quite often occur in the quality of the
current transfer especially with older systems or systems that run
full time. The existing bus-bars are either damaged or bent in the
area of contact after a certain amount of use. With the standard
contact ranges this would cause the contact surfaces of the
bus-bars to lie on just a portion of the contact area of the
contact which leads to overheating in areas and contact problems.
In order to solve these problems, especially on systems that run
full time to reduce down times and system repairs, we have
developed this new pneumatic contact range. Our new contact
system, with its moveable contact fingers, adapts to the contact
area even if the bar is bent or twisted up to 10 mm. All contacts
have been equipped with a simple druseidt designed pneumatic
construction. No complicated pneumatic cylinders or pneumatic
cushions are required. The bus-bar slides in using its own
momentum. This procedure causes a self-cleaning effect on the bar
as it slides through the guides. The contacts require a minimum of
maintenance and are very robust under heavy mechanical loads. The
contact units are covered to the largest possible extent with
extra stable stainless steel covers. The contact system is built
modularly and can be adapted to the height as well as the width of
systems having little extra space. The connection to the current
supply system can either be made using the base plate or a
connection side plate with massive copper. This contact system has
proven itself in the transferral of high current loads. Systems
with up to 40,000 A have been equipped with this contact system.
