DHS048-14 solid shaft slip ring 14 channels for engineering machinery

Wide range of applications for slip rings

• The areas of application for slip ring assemblies are diverse and constantly growing. For example, slip ring assemblies are used in wind power, robotics or crane technology. Slip ring assemblies continue to be an elementary component of electromechanics and for industrial communication via signals such as field buses and Ethernet. Corresponding customised and modular hollow shaft slip ring systems are therefore found in numerous electrical machines, their design ensuring the functionality of entire machine complexes. In the future, they will also be increasingly needed for the contactless transmission of high data rates. For this purpose, they must fulfil numerous requirements, which INGIANT guarantees as a manufacturer of slip rings.
• The fast and reliable data transmission by slip ring bodies, e.g. of measurement data or video signals via additional optical channels, is becoming increasingly important, especially in connection with the industry 4.0. This is because here even the smallest and previously purely functional rotating components no longer have to guarantee not only power transmission but also data transmission, on which modern plant control systems are increasingly based. For this purpose rotary connectors are used as slip ring rotary joints. In addition to electrical power, they also transmit optical fibers, signals and field buses such as 100 BaseT Ethernet to the inside of rotating systems.
