A slip ring can be used in any electro-mechanical system that requires unrestrained, continuous rotation while transmitting power and/or data from a stationary to a rotating structure. A slip ring is also called a rotary electrical interface, collector, swivel, or a rotary joint. A slip ring can improve system performance by simplifying operations and eliminating damage-prone wires dangling from movable joints.
ãÂ??Â??ãÂ??Â??A slip ring are metal rings that provide a continuous electrical connection through brushes on stationary contacts.
ãÂ??Â??ãÂ??Â??It’s configuration is column type. each ring lies along the drum axis, like threads on a bolt.
ãÂ??Â??ãÂ??Â??The SRH2578 uses sheaf brush technology which offers several advantages over conventional slip ring contacts, including multiple points of contact per brush bundle, low contact force per brush, low noise and low contact wear rates. In addition, sheaf brushes do not require lubrication and produce virtually no wear debris.
