Flexible & electrical connections

Movable Expansion Busbars

Our Laminated Expansion Busbars are used as expansion and vibration compensation within busbar connections. They are also installed as flexible current transmission elements in machine parts, vehicles and switchgear. 

The engineering of an Expansion Busbars is influenced by the current intensity, the current path, the connection material, the flexibility requirements and the installation conditions such as ambient temperature.

Expansion Busbars - Conductor Material & Connections

EMS aluminum lamellae

Conductor Material of Expansion Busbars

Depending on the required current values, mainly copper and aluminum strips are used, but also combinations of both materials. 

  • Copper Expansion Busbars (DBCU) made of Cu-HCP copper fins of thickness 0.2 mm with pressure welded connections of the same material.
  • Aluminium Expansion Busbars (DBAL) made of EN AW-1050 0.3 mm lamellae with MIG-welded EN AW-6060 connections.


If required, we also carry out surface refinements. Please feel free to contact us!

Connections Expansion Busbars

Press-welded connections have excellent conductivity due to a perfect molecular bond. The connection surfaces can be drilled, milled and bent.

Shielding gas welded connections are locally melted by means of an electrically generated arc. The shielding gas prevents oxidation of the molten metal.

By soldering the connections, even very complicated designs can be realized. Depending on the application, various brazing alloys and processes are available.

Flexible Expansion Busbars

The flexibility of Expansion Busbars compensates for expansion when busbars heat up.

Expansion Busbars also prevent damage to device connections in the event of switching vibrations, for example.  

The press-welded connections have low contact resistances and are easy to install.
