Latest company news about Conductive Slip Ring Technology in Harsh Environments

Conductive slip ring technology is commonly used in harsh environments where there is a need to transmit power and signals between rotating and stationary parts. These environments can include high temperatures, corrosive materials, and high levels of vibration.To ensure that conductive slip ring technology can function effectively in these harsh environments, several design features are incorporated. These include:

 

1,Materials selection: The materials used in the construction of the slip ring are chosen to withstand the harsh environment. For example, materials such as stainless steel or titanium may be used in corrosive environments, while high-temperature materials such as ceramics or tungsten carbide may be used in high-temperature environments.

2,Seal design: The slip ring is designed with a sealed housing to protect the internal components from dust, moisture, and other contaminants. The seal design must be able to withstand the harsh environment while still allowing the slip ring to rotate freely.

3,Bearing selection: The bearings used in the slip ring must be chosen to withstand the harsh environment and provide smooth rotation. For example, ceramic or hybrid bearings may be used in high-temperature environments, while sealed and lubricated bearings may be used in corrosive environments.

4,Contact materials: The materials used for the contacts in the slip ring must be able to withstand the harsh environment and provide reliable electrical transmission. For example, gold plating may be used for low current applications, while silver plating may be used for higher current applications.,

5,Cooling systems: In high-temperature environments, cooling systems may be incorporated into the slip ring design to dissipate heat and prevent damage to internal components.

Overall, conductive slip ring technology can be adapted to function effectively in a wide range of harsh environments through careful design and materials selection.

 

In order to resist the extreme environment, JINPAT Electronics developed a high-temperature resistant conductive slip ring for high-temperature rollers. This slip ring operates in an environment with a constant temperature above 100°C for a long time. In order to develop this product, JINPAT even cooperated with the incubator manufacturer to specially develop an ultra-high temperature constant temperature life test bench, and completed its full life test in several months. With the experience in the development of conductive slip rings with constant temperature and high temperature rollers above 100°C, JINPAT Electronics has recently successfully developed a conductive slip ring that can operate in an environment of superheated silicone oil above 200°C. Its model is LPT012-0802-HT, which is a relatively small product. At the same time, in order to better observe the wear of the friction pair of the conductive slip ring, this type of product is designed with an opening on the shell, which is similar to the ultra-high-speed conductive slip ring developed by JINPAT Electronics, but the two have different uses. The former can be used It is used for observation, and the latter is used for both observation, heat dissipation and introduction of cold air.
