Discharge measures

To ensure optimum protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and capacitive coupling, you have to take measures between the mobile component and the stationary end for dissipating the charges. This is particularly important for mobile systems such as lifting gears, floor conveyor vehicles, or floor conveyor systems.

You can dissipate charges as follows:

  • Via conductive components, such as:
    • Combs
    • Brushes
    • Springs
    • Sliders
  • Via dissipative or conductive track rollers or wheels
  • Via dissipative floor coverings or work areas

If required in certain production steps, temporary grounding of the vehicle support frame is permitted.
