Types of Slip Rings
-
Slip Rings are created with different types and sizes dependent on what and where they will be used. But which type is right for your application? The most common types of slip rings are detailed below to help you decide.
Slip Rings come in many different types and sizes, available as either standard or customized.
CSIEQUIPT offers both standard and customizable Slip Rings which are designed to deliver a flexible, cost-effective, high quality and reliable solution.
Capsule Slip Rings
Due to their reduced diameter, Capsule Slip Rings guarantee a low peripheral speed between rings and brushes, thus reducing material consumption. It also enhances its lifetime and minimizes electrical noise and interferences between rings. These types of slip rings have been designed keeping signal transmission optimization, compactness and reliability in mind.
Benefits
Cost-effective
Compact and light
Many customizations
High circuits density
Combinable with fluidic rotary joints and FORJ
Water-resistant (IP65)
Optimal signal transmission
Through Bore/Hollow Shaft Slip Rings
Through Bore/Hollow Shaft Slip Rings provide an economical readily available solution when a compact through-bore configuration is required to be easily mounted. These types of slip rings are available in a wide range of sizes and models, starting from 3 mm up to over 100 mm through-bore diameter.
Benefits
Transmission of electric power/signals and fieldbuses in one unit
Mountable on the shaft
Many sizes
Many customizations
Combinable with fluidic rotary joints and FORJ
Cost-effective
Faston Slip Rings
Due to the multiple contact points, Faston Slip Rings ensure longer life due to the low contact wear rates, while granting low contact resistance. These types of slip rings have been specially designed for intensive use at high speed and to transmit power and sensitive signals. They are suitable for use on flow-pack packaging machines, ensuring a compact and reliable solution. The IP65 version makes it washable, meaning it is protected against low-pressure jets if watered from all directions.

More about Slip Rings
Slip rings are mechanical devices that allow the transmission of electrical power and signals from a fixed point to a rotating device and are used to improve the mechanical performance of a system or to simplify the operation. They are also used as a way of eliminating the messy and interfering wires which may be present when using other types of components which require rotation.
Slip rings tend to be used across industries including:
Construction
Agriculture
Packaging
Electronics
Oil and gas
Water treatment
