Current Collector Strips
Schunk produces lead-free carbon current collector strips using the time proven clamp, solder and bonding techniques. All collector strips are characterized by their high degree of operational reliability. As well as reliable current collection under extreme environmental conditions - Schunk collector strips provide outstanding temperature resistance, stable performance throughout the usable lifetime, resilience to corrosion and can be manufactured to suit any specific application to include features such as an Automatic Dropping Device (ADD). Our Melbourne office holds a large range of stock of carbon strips for most local rail and tramway pantographs.
