Description

MKH Enclosed Conductor Systems

Safe, Uninterrupted Transmission of Power and Control Signals — in fast-paced production, mobile systems can only do their job reliably if not just power but also precise control signals are transmitted without interruption. Developed for exactly this need, the VAHLE MKH Enclosed Conductor System carries power and control currents safely over a single line. The touch-protected structure offers up to 10 poles; ball-bearing current collectors integrated into the plastic profile compensate tolerance differences along the rail. These qualities have made MKH the industry standard in the low and medium power range for cranes, power-and-free conveyors and transfer cars.

Flexible, Durable, Easy to Install — with its compact design and easy installation, MKH suits both indoor and outdoor applications. The optional heating function prevents frost in humid environments, keeping the system running safely. The VAHLE APOS Magnetic Positioning System can be fully integrated into the MKH housing.
