Slip Ring
Slip Ring is also known as collector ring, conductive ring, collector ring, converter ring, conductive slip ring, rotary connector, adapter, commutator, rotary joint, etc. In addition, according to the overall structure of the slip ring is different, it can also be divided into solid round slip ring, empty round slip ring, separated slip ring, flat disk slip ring, mercury slip ring, special type slip ring and other types.
Fields of application
A Slip Ring usually consists of a rotating metal ring and one or more stationary brush holders. The metal ring is usually engraved with conductive tracks or contacts, while the brush holders are fitted with carbon brushes or other conductive material. When the device rotates, the metal ring rotates with it, but the brush holders remain stationary. The carbon brushes remain in contact with the conductive tracks or contacts on the metal ring, allowing for the continuous transmission of power and signals.
Slip Rings are widely used in a variety of fields that require rotary transmission of power or signals, such as industrial automation, aerospace, medical equipment, amusement rides, wind power generation, robotics, drones, various types of gimbals, and so on.
