Quick Summary
Rittal SV 9640.970 Sliding Block is a compact mounting accessory designed to secure flat copper bars to Maxi-PLS busbars in control cabinets. It slides into the busbar section from the side and tightens with threaded bolts to create a solid electrical connection in tight spaces. Engineers often struggle with reliable cable-term interfaces in dense panels, where misalignment can cause increased resistance and downtime. Note: the data provided does not list SIL, CE, or IP ratings; verify compliance with your project standards. The part fits Maxi-PLS 45 S/45 with Maxi-PLS 1600/2000 configurations, and its 20 mm length supports precise, repeatable mounting. This combination delivers installation efficiency and predictable performance for power distribution and copper-bar integration.

Product description
SV Sliding block, M8, L: 20 mm, for Maxi-PLS busbar, (Maxi-PLS 1600/2000)
The SV 9640.970 uses a copper-alloy sliding block with an M8 thread, delivering a robust, low-impedance electrical contact that withstands mounting vibrations in demanding environments. This feature translates into reduced contact resistance and longer-term reliability in Maxi-PLS busbar assemblies, especially where space is constrained and fasteners must be torque-controlled during maintenance. In Maxi-PLS 45 S/45 systems, the 20 mm length supports accurate alignment and repeatable mounting, enabling quicker installation in panel layouts with multiple busbar sections. The packaging of 15 units per pack and a weight of 0.27 kg per pack streamline sourcing and logistics for maintenance timelines and project procurement. The compatibility with Maxi-PLS 1600/2000 configurations broadens applicability across scalable power-distribution solutions, boosting overall installation efficiency and reducing job-site downtime.

FAQs
To install, align the sliding block with the Maxi-PLS busbar groove, slide it into the side section, and tighten the threaded M8 bolts to secure the copper-bar connection. Ensure flat copper bars and connection components are properly oriented for maximum contact area. Verify torque specifications per your panel’s assembly standards and re-check alignment after mounting to prevent binding or misalignment during future maintenance.
SV 9640.970 is specified for Maxi-PLS 45 S/45 and is designed for Maxi-PLS 1600/2000 systems. This broad compatibility supports a range of power-distribution layouts, enabling reliable mounting for copper bars across mid- to high-density busbar installations.
The sliding block is made from copper alloy, chosen for low contact resistance and good conductance. The 20 mm length and M8 thread optimize mechanical stability and secure clamping, which helps maintain consistent electrical performance under vibration and temperature variations typically found in control panels.
The provided data does not list SIL, CE, or IP ratings for SV 9640.970. When selecting for a project, confirm applicable certifications with your supplier or Rittal documentation to ensure alignment with your regulatory and safety requirements.
By providing a repeatable, secure mounting method for copper bars in Maxi-PLS busbars, this sliding block reduces assembly time, minimizes contact resistance, and lowers maintenance downtime. The pack configuration (15 pieces per pack) supports efficient procurement for ongoing installations and service, improving overall project ROI in dense power-distribution environments.
