Slip rings are a mechanical device that allow the transmission of electrical power and signals from a fixed point to a rotating device and are usedto simplify the operation of a system or improve its mechanical performance. This type of concentric disc placed on the center of a rotating shaft.The shape of this slip is flat. So, it is also known as a flat slip ring or platter slip ring.
Slip rings are used in anAC Generator. It is hollow rings that are connected to the ends of the armature coil and it helps to produce Ac current.
Slipring is used inAC motorsto provide a continuous transmitting of power and signal, whereas the split ring is used in DC motors to reverse the polarity of the current.
The main function of a slip ring is to simplify the operation of a system or improve mechanical performance by transferring the electrical power and/or signals from the stationary part of the machine out to where it is needed on the rotating part.
Heason Technology offerssixtypes of Slip Rings, all with different features based on where they are intended for use.
A slip ring is a device that allows the transmission of electricity from a stationary to a rotating structure. They are full metal rings, fused to the ends of the armature coil. Hence,they rotate about the same axis and at the same speed as that of the armature. Slip rings are used in AC generators and motors.
