Flexible Busbars

Flexible busbars perform the same function as conventional busbars while also offering mechanical flexibility.

Technology Description

Flexibility is achieved by dividing the conductor cross-section into several thin layers. To ensure the same electrical performance as a rigid busbar, these layers are securely joined at both ends of the component using resistance or laser welding.
Standard coating systems can be applied at the contact points to minimize contact resistance.

Customer Benefit

  • Tolerance-compensating interface between two modules (e.g., pulse inverter and electric motor)
  • Thermal compensation for changes in length
  • Mechanical decoupling of systems
  • Single-part strategy (a single, flexible busbar for various positions)

Core Competencies

  • SCHERDEL has seven years of experience in the mass production of high-quality, high-volume flexible busbars
  • SCHERDEL is a reliable partner for the entire product development process—from simulation and prototyping through testing to mass production
