Flexible Busbars for Electrical and Energy Applications

A flexible busbar is useful where movement between components would otherwise place mechanical stress on a rigid conductor or its connections. Typical reasons for choosing a flexible connection include:

• Vibration: Equipment vibration can transmit movement through an electrical connection. A suitably designed flexible section helps reduce the mechanical stress transferred to adjoining components.
• Thermal expansion: Conductors and connected equipment expand and contract as their temperatures change. A flexible connection allows for this relative movement.
• Installation tolerances: Small differences between the intended and actual positions of connection points can make a rigid busbar difficult to fit. A flexible section can accommodate limited misalignment during assembly.

The connection should be designed for the expected direction and amount of movement, as well as the electrical requirements of the application. Read more in our busbar design guide >>.

Our flexible busbars are manufactured from stacked copper laminations.

• Material: Copper
• Individual lamination thickness: 0.5 mm or 1 mm
• Manufacturing: According to customer drawings and specifications
• Production location: Vaasa, Finland
• Deliveries: Nordic countries and worldwide

Send us your drawing with the required dimensions, lamination thickness, number of layers and connection details. We will review the requirements and confirm what we can produce for your project.
