Slip rings ready for demanding apps

By Paul Dvorak | January 5, 2010

Slip rings for a wide variety of industrial applications come from Deublin Co., Waukegan, Ill. The devices are easily configured for both power connections and signal connections. The signal portion of the slip rings is compatible with Ethernet, Profinet, RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, CAN as well as generic analog or digital sensing and 24V control signals.

Slip rings are well suited for a variety of demanding applications such as wind turbines, robotics, industrial machinery (textile, bottling, and packaging for example), test equipment, commercial displays, crane and hoist controls just to name a few. Deublin Company has used the same high quality standards in the development of the new Slip Ring product line as we have established in our rotary union designs for over 60 years.

The electrical device allows transmitting power and electrical signals from a stationary to a rotating structure. A slip ring can be used in any electromechanical system that requires unrestrained, intermittent or continuous rotation while transmitting power and/or data. Typically, a slip ring is comprised of a graphite or precious metal brush, which contacts the outside diameter of a rotating metal ring. As the ring turns, electrical current or signal is conducted through the stationary brush to the metal ring making the connection. Additional ring/brush assemblies are stacked along the rotating axis if more than one electrical circuit is needed. A new brochure, Catalog SR084 US, is available along with a Request for Quote form that assists in specifying a slip ring.

    Slip ring can combine with signal, Ethernet, profibus and all kinds of fieldbus data transfer, and fiber optic contact can ensure the reliable.

    Insulation material of the slip ring generally has the following functions:
    1 ) The insulation between the rings of the conductive slip ring.
    2 ) The insulation between the rings and the shafts of the conductive slip ring.
    3 ) The insulation between the brushes and between the brushes and slip ring housing

    For various slip rings with hole there are common electrical specifications: insulation resistance and rings which should consider factors of matching, shielding, noise voltage
