Stäubli ZeroBolt Technology – Boltless Busbar Connection Solution

What is ZeroBolt?

ZeroBolt is Stäubli’s pluggable busbar connection technology, designed for demanding blind-mating applications in both wet and dry environments. It is typically used in high-voltage drive systems such as inverters and motors.

The key difference is that ZeroBolt does not require bolts or fasteners. Instead, it uses Stäubli’s proven MULTILAM contact technology, overcoming the typical drawbacks of traditional bolted connections.

Main Advantages over Bolted Connections

1. No bolts or fasteners required
   • Simplifies assembly and eliminates torque-related errors.
2. Cost savings and optimized process
   • Faster installation, reduced labor costs, no need for special tools.
3. Compact design and space saving
   • Allows more compact layouts by eliminating bolt and tool clearances.
4. High current carrying capacity
   • MULTILAM ensures stable, efficient, high-current transfer.
5. Thermal expansion compensation and vibration resistance
   • Prevents loosening over time, ensuring long-term reliability.
6. Flexible and pluggable design
   • Easy assembly and quick disconnection for maintenance.

Conclusion

ZeroBolt is a breakthrough compared to conventional bolted connections. With its compact form, easy installation, lower cost, and higher reliability, it is particularly suited for demanding high-voltage applications.
