GENERAL VKL Use Indoor applications Designed for small current loads and serve for the power supply of light To support the conductor rail to the crane track mounting brackets avail- cranes and for control current systems. The VKL conductor rail can also able (siehe Seite 27). be used for hoists, jib cranes, power tools, machine tools, electrically operated gates, testing lines, and other applications. Collectors The glider type collectors are guided at the PVC housing. They are sup- plied with 1 m long connecting cable. Longer cables are available upon The plastic housing holds up to 5 conductors....
