Depending on application, different types of Current Collectors are used.

Arm length:

Short arm version for limited installation situations and little rail offset from the ideal line. Long arm version for applications with bigger deviations (max .30mm) from the ideal line.

Length of Carbon Brush:

Depending on system geometry and current load.

Carbon Brush Material:

Copper-graphite heads for higher current loads and applications with higher mechanical requirements. Pure carbon heads for lower current loads and data signals.

Spacers:

When using Pickup Guides, Current Collectors with spacers must be used to ensure correct distances (pole spacing) between decoupled Current Collector Shoes.
