Conductor rail systems and grounding brushes for industrial applications
Open conductor rail systems are used in installations where power must be transferred reliably to a moving system. In many industrial applications, a closed or standard cable solution is not always the best choice. Especially in cases of heavy loads, intensive use, or when an installation needs to remain easily accessible and maintainable, an open conductor rail system can be the right solution.
Conductor rails and grounding brushes for reliable power transfer
What makes an open conductor rail system practical is its simple and robust design. The system is intended for applications where reliability is key and components must withstand tough conditions.
Within Vijselaar’s open conductor rail systems, this includes conductor rails and grounding brushes. This combination not only enables power transfer but also ensures controlled dissipation of currents that could otherwise cause wear or malfunctions.
This is exactly what makes open conductor rail systems valuable in practice—not as a standard product used everywhere in the same way, but as a technical solution that must fit the application. One installation may require a compact rail solution, while another may prioritize mechanical strength, conductivity, or reliable grounding. For example, a product page within this category may describe a rail with a steel core and copper head, designed for high mechanical strength and stable current contact in heavy industrial applications.
Open conductor rail systems in multiple markets
Our open conductor rail systems are used across various markets, including industry, machine construction, offshore, rolling stock, amusement ride construction, and overhaul work.
In industry, the focus is often on continuity and wear resistance. In machine construction, the solution must align with the structure and movement of the machine. In offshore and port environments, operating conditions also play a major role. Therefore, we tailor our products to meet the requirements of each specific application.
