Description
KBH Enclosed Conductor Systems
A Reliable, Durable Power Solution for Crane Systems — crane systems are a core component of many production processes, and lifting or moving heavy loads is only possible with a dependable power system. VAHLE has answered this need for many years with the touch-protected KBH Enclosed Conductor System, developed specifically for standard cranes in the low and medium power range. The poles required for power transmission are integrated into a light yet strong hollow plastic profile; ball-bearing-guided current collectors easily compensate tolerance differences along the rail for continuous, balanced power flow.
Reliable Performance, Flexible Structure — compact and cost-effective, the KBH Enclosed Conductor System has been the market standard in the low-to-medium power segment for years. Available in 4- or 5-pole versions with different conductor cross-sections, it safely carries rated currents up to 200 amperes. KBH suits indoor and outdoor installations; with the optional heating wire, icing on the contact bars is prevented.
Easy Installation, Short Delivery Times, Simple Integration — further advantages include short delivery times and easy assembly. Clip technology on suspensions, connection covers, connectors and feed units enables fast maintenance and repair, giving the system high availability and operating efficiency. The VAHLE APOS Magnetic Positioning System can also be fully integrated into the KBH housing.
Certified Safety and Quality Standards
