Project Planning Technical Notes and Engineering Information 1. Application area and intended use The Conductor Rail System 0811 is designed as a modular, single-pole, and insulated system. Intended applications are facilities with mostly curved tracks and circular or oval applications with or without switches. Typical applications are electrified monorail systems, conveyors, sorters, and other conveyor systems in circular and oval arrays, as well as other indoor and weatherproof outdoor applications. Use in Electrified Monorail Systems (EMS): Specific components and accessories are available...

Project Planning Technical Notes and Engineering Information 8. Hanger Clamps Sliding Hanger Clamps are used to fasten and position the rails. They ensure safe mounting of the rails while allowing the conductor rail to slip within the hanger in case thermal expansion occurs. Hanger Clamps are made from high-strength engineered plastic and are resistant to aging. Damage from aromates from the environment may occur if concentration and exposure time are exceeded. Hanger Clamps, as well as other plastic parts of the system, must not be painted or cleaned with solvents. Installation on painted surfaces...

Project Planning Conductor Rail System Dimensioning The rail type is selected according to the total expected load current per route section and the voltage drop during start-up. Notes on voltage drop and special operating conditions The total current of all consumers running simultaneously must not exceed the stated load capacity of the rail at 100% duty cycle. Voltage drop on the conductor rail should not be higher than 3-5% UN. If facilities operate under extreme environmetal conditions, please contact us. Calculating the voltage drop Three-phase current Alternating current ∆u = Voltage drop...

Project Planning Using Rail Connectors as Expansion Joints If the conductor rail is installed inside or alongside a support structure, such as a crane runway or building’s structure, changes in temperature will cause changes in the lengths of the support profile as well as the conductor rail. Due to the different materials used, the degree of expansion will vary. These variations, as well as expansion through self-heating or exposure to external heat sources must be compensated for to prevent compressing or warping of the conductor rail. Expansion Joints are generally used for this purpose. With...
