1. Sheath: It is a semi enclosed guiding tubular component and the main part of the sliding contact wire.sliding wireAccording to the manufacturer's introduction, 3-16 exposed guide rails can be embedded as power lines as needed, and each guide rail is insulated from each other to ensure power supply safety. Each length of the catheter produced by the manufacturer is different and can be connected to any desired length. Usually, according to special requirements, conduits can be made into straight or curved shapes.
　　
2. Conductor: The main material is copper. According to its cross-sectional area, there are usually 10 square meters, 16 square meters, and 25 square meters.
　　
3. A collector is a set of brush shell frames that run in a conduit, driven by forks (or traction chains, etc.), and synchronized with the operating mechanism by placing the organization (crane, handcart, electric hoist, etc.) on the power source. The electrical energy of the guide rail and brush will be reflected onto the motor or other control components. The number of poles of the electric brush in the collector is 3-16, corresponding to the number of conductive poles in the conduit.
