What are the roles and applications of slip rings?

Slip Rings, mostly used in multi-functional, high-performance, high-precision, multi-dimensional continuous rotary motion of high-end industrial electrical equipment or precision electronic equipment.

Such as: aerospace equipment, radar communication equipment, medical equipment, automatic processing equipment, smelting equipment, mining equipment, cable equipment, amusement equipment, display equipment, intelligent camera, chemical reactor, crystal furnace, wire stranding machine, windmill, robotic arm, robots, shield machine, revolving door, measuring instrument, aeromodelling, special automobile, special ship and so on.

Slip Rings provide reliable energy and signal transmission solutions for these electromechanical devices to realize complex motions. It can also be said: slip ring, is the sign of advanced intelligent motion equipment.

Extended information:

Slip Rings rely on the elastic lap principle, rolling lap principle, or sealing principle, as well as the ingenious design of the movement structure and the sealing structure, precision parts production coordination, reasonable selection of materials. The whole sliding ring is composed of stable and reliable rotating connecting system by relying on the elastic lap principle, rolling lap principle, or sealing principle, as well as the ingenious design of motion structure and sealing structure, precise production of parts to match, and reasonable selection of materials.

As long as the slip ring is attached to the infinite rotating equipment, it can provide power energy to the rotating body, so that the rotating body in the infinite rotating movement at the same time, but also can carry out other movements, or detect the rotating state of the working condition.

Slip ring background: In recent times, in the high-end field of industrial equipment, such as rotation, rotation and other multiple relative motion requirements. That is, mechanical equipment 360 ° continuous rotary movement at the same time, the rotating body also needs multiple movements. There is movement, there is a need for energy, such as electrical energy, fluid pressure energy, etc.. Sometimes, also need to control the signal source, such as fiber-optic signal, high-frequency signal, etc..

Any relative continuous rotation of 360 ° between the electrical components need to transmit functional power supply, weak electrical signals, optical signals, air pressure, water pressure, oil pressure, and other different energy media to ensure that the electrical appliances in the rotary movement can also be free movement of electromechanical equipment, must use the rotary connectivity device.
