What are the functions and applications of slip rings?

Slip rings are mostly used in high-end industrial electrical equipment or precision electronic equipment with multi-function, high performance, high precision and multi-element continuous rotating motion.

Such as: aerospace equipment, radar communication equipment, medical equipment, automatic processing equipment, smelting equipment, mining equipment, cable equipment, amusement equipment, display equipment, smart cameras, chemical reactor, crystal furnace, stranding machine, windmill, mechanical arm, robot, shield machine, revolving door, measuring instrument, airplane model, special automobile, special ship, etc.

Slip rings provide a reliable energy and signal transmission scheme for these electromechanical devices to realize complex movements. It can also be said that the slip ring is the symbol of advanced intelligent sports equipment.

Extended data:

As a whole, the slip ring relies on the principle of elastic lap, rolling lap or sealing, as well as the ingenious design of movable structure and sealing structure, precise parts manufacturing and reasonable material selection. And form a stable and reliable rotary communication system.

As long as the slip ring is attached to the infinitely rotating equipment, it can provide power and energy for the rotating body, so that the rotating body can perform other movements or detect the working conditions in the rotating state while rotating infinitely.

Slip ring background: In modern times, in the high-end field of industrial equipment, there are many requirements for revolution, rotation and other relative movements. That is to say, while the mechanical equipment rotates continuously for 360 degrees, the rotating body needs to move many times. If there is movement, energy is needed, such as electric energy and fluid pressure energy. Sometimes it is necessary to control signal sources, such as optical fiber signals and high-frequency signals.

Any mechanical and electrical equipment that needs to transmit different energy media such as functional power supply, weak current signal, optical signal, air pressure, water pressure and oil pressure. In order to ensure that the electrical appliances can move freely when rotating, the rotating communication device must be used.
