Split Sliprings
For some applications, particularly machinery and equipment upgrades, it is impossible to access either end of the rotating shaft to allow the addition of a conventional slip ring. For these applications, we have a special slip ring solution which includes a split slip ring and a conventional brush block. The slip ring is essentially supplied as two semi-circular parts, which are then clamped around the shaft with a tightening system to rigidly fix the two halves together. Since the two semi-circulars sections are finish machined and gold plated at the factory in the assembled condition, the effects of the gap on the overall operation of the slip ring are minimized. Electrical connections can either be standard or custom.
- Enables existing rotating shaft to be retrofitted with a slip ring
- Hydraulic and pneumatic rotary joints
- Packing machines
- CT scan systems
- Electro optic sensors
- Radars
- Military weapons
- Separate split ring and brush block
- Minimal disturbance electrically at the split of the slip ring
Compact Slipring capsule
A slip ring can be used in any electromechanical system that requires unrestrained, continuous rotation while transferring power and / or data from a stationary to a rotating structure. A slip ring is also called a rotary electrical interface, commutator, collector, swivel or an electrical rotary joint. This slip ring which we call our “mini”, is our newest design and smallest physical package.This unit is ideal for use where mounting space is limited and critical, without sacrificing current handling capability.
