Conductive slip ring working principle: the use of conductive ring sliding contact, electrostatic coupling or electromagnetic coupling, in the fixed seat frame rotating parts and rolling or sliding parts between the transmission of electrical signals and electrical energy transfer precision power transmission device.
Conductive slip ring is a key electrical component, which bears the important responsibility of transferring electrical energy and signals in the rotating system. Whether in industrial automation, robotics, or new energy fields, conductive slip rings play an irreplaceable role. It is made of electrically conductive materials, usually brass, copper alloys or precious metals, to ensure excellent conductivity and mechanical stability.
The structure of the slip ring is relatively simple, usually including a fixed part and a rotating part paired with it. The rotating part is fitted with a conductive ring, while the fixed part carries brushes (also known as brush blocks). When the rotating part rotates, an electrical connection is formed between the conductive ring and the brushes, and electrical energy and signals can be transferred from the fixed part to the rotating part through the slip ring, thus realizing power transmission and data communication.
Applications of Conductive Slip Rings
In automated production lines and mechanical equipment, conductive slip rings are commonly used to transfer electrical energy and signals to realize power supply and data transmission of rotating parts, such as rotary encoders and sensors. In various types of industrial robots and service robots, conductive slip rings enable robots to realize unlimited rotary motion and maintain communication with external systems during rotation. Conductive slip rings play an important role in new energy devices such as wind turbines and solar tracking systems, providing power transmission solutions.
In automotive steering systems, air conditioning systems, etc., conductive slip rings are used to transfer electrical energy and signals to support various driver assistance functions and information transmission. In the field of medical imaging equipment, surgical machinery, etc., conductive slip rings provide power and data interface for the equipment to ensure the normal operation of medical equipment.
