Contactless Power Supply

VAHLE’s contactless power systems (CPS) provide inductive power transfer for a variety of applications. With no limit to travel speed or acceleration, no maintenance from wear components and unaffected by environmental conditions, VAHLE’s CPS is an innovative solution to demanding applications.

System Operation

Using the principle of inductive power transfer, power is transmitted as the “pick up” unit travels along the path of the electric coils. The coils are typically installed on an I-Beam or under concrete on the floor. Data signals can also be transmitted via CPS. Contact VAHLE for technical specifications and quotes for your particular application.
