These devices allow transmitting power and signals from a stationary platform to one that is rotating. A slip-ring assembly is often a graphite or precious metal brush that contacts the outside diameter of a rotating metal ring. As the ring turns, an electrical current or signal conducts through the stationary brush to the metal ring…
This slipring does not slip
Industrial designers, engineers, and manufacturers in industries that employ machinery with rotating parts such as wind turbines and radar now have a new way to avoid critical downtime that occurs from failed electrical and mechanical connectors. Mechanical slip rings, through-hole slip rings, and high-current slip rings often limit designers’ and manufacturers’ ability to power systems…
