Slip Rings
General Information
In general Slip rings are used to transmit power, signal or data from a stationary to a rotating platform. The transmission between the stator and rotor takes place via sliding contacts and is extremely reliable. The construction of a Slip ring is modular and offers the greatest flexibility in a variety of applications.
A Slip ring can be used in many diverse industry sectors; they transmit electrical load current, signals or data (also pneumatic or hydraulic, on request) from a stationary to a rotating platform. The transmission between the stator and rotor units takes place via sliding contacts (for current up to 25A) and is extremely reliable.
Fieldbus signals such as Profibus, CANopen® etc. can be transmitted at up to 12MB. The modular system construction offers the highest degree of flexibility in a wide variety of applications
Kübler is launching a new generation of Slip ring onto the market with its two models IST-SR085 and IST-SR060 (dimensions: ø 85mm and 60mm); these combine technical innovation with the product quality and compact size for which Kübler is renowned.
In addition, the Safety-Trans™-Design with its two-cavity system for load and signal transmission offers a further special feature. Furthermore the Safety-Trans™ construction of the springs guarantees reliable transmission, even when subjected to a high level of vibration.
