JDC, JDCII & JDU
Series Catalog

These Conductor Bar Systems are practical. They are designed to be compact and easy to assemble. JDC and JDCII Series: aluminum "H" shape insulated conductor rail. JDU Series: copper "H" shape insulated conductor rail. Download our catalog for more information.

A safe, stable and economical choice. The DW Series is especially suitable for a curved track electic hoist. It offers a small profile for compact installations. This series is recommended for a short power supply distance, low working efficiency and a favorbale environment.

The DHG Series offers a convenient, flexible combination for electric hoist maintenance stations and similar applications. This series is recommended for environments with termperatures lower than 185°F (85°C).

JGH Series Conductor Bars feature: easy field assembly and adjustments, high strength copper head, and low resistance and voltage drop. The high mechanical strength of this system offers reliable operation and protection in high temperature, dusty or corrosive amtmosphere. Available in horizontal or vertical mounting.

The INVERTED V-BAR systems offer superior collector tracking capability over the time proven Universal 8-BAR systems. The greater collector tracking performance of the Inverted V-Bar systems is created by the "V" shaped contact surface. The contact surface design forces the composite metal contact shoes to be guided only by the metal conductor bar, instead of the insulating cover.

Inverted V-bar systems are recommended for side entry of the collector contact shoes (lateral collector mounting), and do not require the use of counter balanced or spring-balanced collectors.

UNIVERSAL 8-BAR conductor bar systems have been designed for the transmission of electrical power. Universal 8-Bar systems are recommended to be mounted for bottom entry (vertical mount) of the collector contact shoes.

Universal 8-Bar systems may be used interchangeably with other 1" bottom entry 8-bar systems. Gleason supplies a full line of standard conductor bar system components including: support brackets, power feeds, expansion and isolation assembles, collector pick-up shoes, end covers, joint covers, transfer caps and collector pick-up guides. Custom components are available upon request.

COLLECTOR assemblies are offered in either single or double shoe designs, providing continuous current carrying capacity of 40 amperes to 200 amperes. (Note: current ratings are based on ambient temperature of 30 degrees C.) The contact shoes are upheld by an insulated spring-loaded body and arm mechanism. All collectors are supplied with copper/graphite contacts for speeds up to 900 feet per minute. For faster travel speeds, consult the factory.
