System Structure
The standard product line offers the following conductor materials: electrolytic copper, aluminum, and our new special material CopperECO |||.
We therefore offer the ideal solution for every requirement:
• Copper, with its good conductivity and low voltage drop, is the ideal conductor, with restrictions in applications in aggressive or corrosive environments.
Used when high amperage is needed, particularly in standstill operation..
• As a budget-priced alternative, aluminum rails with a stainless steel contact surface are also available. Using a special procedure, stainless steel and saltwater-
resistant aluminum are firmly joined with no gap, combining the advantages of both materials, that is, good conductivity and low wear, without the disadvantages
of other aluminum rails available on the market with stainless steel inserts.
• As another option, for low current and control signals, there are stainless steel rails available as well.
• The portfolio is complemented by our new special material CopperECO |||. This innovation offers a significantly improved conductivity compared to aluminum-stainless
steel and thus allows high power transmission even when the system is in standstill. CopperECO ||| is suitable for demanding outdoor environments including
saltwater areas. Thereby we can offer an excellent price-performance alternative inbetween copper and aluminum-stainless steel.
18
The conductor rails consist of the conductive rail body and the
protective insulation in a contact-safe design.
26
For higher ambient temperatures halogen-free PPE+SB is used.

slipping of the rails during expansion. Not suitable for aggressive environments. Not suitable for hot-dip galvanized Support Arms.
* only suitable for installation near ground-level
Anchor Clamps
The rails are fixed in one place with Anchor Clamps and can expand freely
from that point out. The fixed point is mainly for single feed applications
attached close to the power feed or in the center of the conductor rail
system. If Expansion Units are installed, please refer location in accor-
dance with diagram 3 on page 15. If multiple fixed points are planned,
for example at intersections or curves (natural fixed point), the segment
between the fixed points must be decoupled using Expansion Units.
Clamps are fastened with a clamping cone on the rail insulator.
Rail Connectors

Rails are connected using compact screw connections. The rail connections must have exposed metal on all contact surfaces and be coated with a thin layer of contact
grease (part no. 080021) to protect against corrosion. When mounting clamping screws, use a torque wrench to achieve correct tightening torques.

To compensate for changes in length due to temperature for systems > 100 m or segments connected between two fixed points, such as Pickup Guides on both ends
of the segment, or in curves (natural fixed points), expansion elements are needed to absorb the change in length. The expansion element has two expansion points,
each of which can absorb 25 mm of expansion. The expansion elements/expansion unit parts are, like the rails, designed as 4 m standard components.
Note: The middle part between the two expansion segments must be supported using hanger clamps (not included – order separately). When using expansion units,
the use of dual current collectors is recommended.

Design: Fastening and DIN parts in stainless steel – rated length 4000 mm (13.12 feet). Hanger Clamps in the middle segment not included – please order separately!
Delivery: completely pre-assembled at the factory. Adjustment of the two expansion gaps according to the table on page 15, depending on temperature values.
* Standard range
Layout notes
Changes in ambient temperature and intrinsic heating cause the conductor rails and the insulation to expand differently. The SinglePowerLine 0812 conductor rail sys-
tem has a partial thermal expansion system. The difference in thermal expansion between the insulation and the rails is compensated for in each individual rail. For this
reason, the insulation profile is specified shorter than the rail and the compensation takes place in the area of the connector caps without influencing the contact guard.
By using self-aligning, rotating Hanger Clamps, the rail line can expand without friction and thus be laid out up to a length of 200 m without additional Expansion Units.
If the power feed is in the middle with a fixed point at the power feed, installations of up to 200 m can be laid out without expansion elements by allowing the segment
to expand freely to each side for 100 m from the fixed point.
For installations of greater length, multiple fixed points such as Pickup Guides or curves that also have a fixed position due to a fixed point or mechanical attachment,
expansion joints must be used to absorb the changes in length.
Pickup Guides are to be considered as fixing points.
Mounting instruction
The distance between insulating caps and steel construction should be at least 10 mm.

In installations with intersections, it is impossible to move the standard PE conductor Current Collector (with deflector angle)
through the Pickup Guide. Thus the PE conductor Current Collector is used for intersections whose holders are equipped
with a bolt for the Towing Arm. This fixes the position of the PE conductor Current Collector by being inserted into a hole
drilled into the Towing Arm using the Drilling Jig listed below.
This ensures that the PE conductor Current Collector can only be mounted in the place provided for it.
To comply with regulations and guidelines, installations with Pickup Guides must have a hole drilled into the Towing Arm 020195 using Drilling Jig 08-W100-0206,
which is then used to hold the bolt on the PE conductor Current Collector.
Installation note:
The phase Current Collectors needed are lined up on the preassembled Towing Arm 020195 and adjusted to the conductor rails. The next-to-outside phase Current
Collector is used as a stop for the Drilling Jig. The Drilling Jig must be attached so that the drill sleeves point outwards – see illustration below. In this position, the
mounting spacing is 50 mm.

[A] 700 The load current of the conductor rail can be increased for shorter duty
cycles. Note: When comparing the rated currents of rails from different
600 manufacturers, always take into consideration the reference ambient
temperature and the duty cycle! Consumptions with 100% duty cycle
such as lighting, air conditioning or magnetic grippers must be taken into
500 consideration. 100% DC ^ = t ≥10 min. (according to EN standards)

If the ambient temperatures differ from the standard value of 35 °C, the loads must be adjusted. At lower temperatures, the heat release (convection) is better and the
rail can handle higher current loads. At higher temperatures, the release of thermal energy to the surrounding air is slower and the load must therefore be reduced.
Use with voltages under 230 V must be tested in each specific case. The minimum current should be 1A.
The corresponding values f A are taken from the following table:

This consists of the basic load, like lighting and air conditioners, and the start-up currents of the drives IA.

The length l is the distance between the power feed and end position of the conductor rail segment on which the consumer is located when starting.
If the average ambient temperature is significantly over 35 °C, the voltage drop must be calculated using the following formulas:

If the voltage drop is too high, then either the number of power feeds must be increased or a larger conductor rail must be selected.
Additional power feeds are usually a better technical and commercial alternative than larger conductor rails or costly copper rails.

Note: Used outdoors, the conductor rail system must be protected from direct weather exposure as much as possible, for example by installing it under a beam and
covering the Current Collector (to protect it from snow and ice). Outdoors, insertion of the Current Collector from below is generally preferable to lateral insertion. Also, the
use of insulated holders is recommended for outdoor installations. If there is any risk of formation of frost or ice, specify optional heating conductors in the rail to de-ice
25
the rail and prevent rail damage due to sparking effects on frozen rails. Distance between insolation elements and steel structure min. 10 mm.
