Slip Ring and Its Functions

The invention of slip ring has been considered as one of the blessings for the technological world. Slip rings allow transmitting power and electricity from a stationary structure to a rotating one. Its application make the transmission easy, it improves the performance of rotating equipment, generators, turbines and other objects that require energy. The major advantage of the slip ring is that it allows highly reliable connection with low maintenance and minimal electrical noise. Generally slip rings differ in configuration and sizes depending on where they are to be installed. Basing on the design theories and structures slip rings are classified into several parts with different usage, such as bore, capsule, pancake, fiber optic, wind power, high-frequency and Ethernet series etc.

Now slip rings can be applied in electrical test equipments, manufacturing and process control equipments, CC TV Pan, Robotics, rotary sensors, medical equipments, aviation & military instruments etc. The reason for which the slip ring has become so popular is firstly it has a lower torque having 360⁰ continuous rotation.

Basing on the technical specifications, these rings are made in different configurations in order to provide wider applications. In order to work successfully the slipring must possess following important criteria. These are-

·         Physical dimension or feature of the rings.

·         Type of circuit that would be used.

·         The voltage and electric current that would pass through the circuit.

·  The working environment comprising of temperature, humidity and vibration that the ring would be exposed to.

Including the major specifications mentioned above, resistance, isolation of circuits, weight etc is also required to be considered when assembling the sliprings.
