slipring

When you concieve a mechanism which gives a rotating movement , it comes always the critical point of the interface between the stator and the rotor. This interface has to have a high performance efficency to transmit the movement and the electrical power and signals in order to ensure the minimum losses inside your mechanism.

Slipiring-brush assemblies are naturally the best suitable solution for this. It transfer the electricity by the contact of two materials (as , by example , carbon and tin).

A slipring-brush is not a motor , meanwhile a motor can be implemented inside the sliping-brush assembly in order to give a torque and power directly at the output of it.

The parts in which the slipring-brush is fixed to the static elements of your mechanism is non-critical. Indeed the center core of the assembly (with the tracks) can be the part stationnary while the brushes and housing rotate around it or vice-versa.

It can be conceive a large variety of slipring-brush , depending on the dimension avalaible inside a complex mechanism , the rotation speed , the lifetime , the type of electrical transmission , the environmental condition .Slipring assemblies for energy- and data transfer are being used for all products which do not allow any stationary current supply due to their rotary movement. Thus, the applications range from current transmission at slowly moving round reamers in purification plants to explosion-proof slipring assemblies with media lead-through for oil production vessels.
