Sometimes, a conductive slip ring is not sufficient to meet the requirements on rotating transmission of electric energy and electrical signals in many applications. Therefore, it is necessary to equip it with a special gas-liquid-electric integrated slip ring to enable transmission of gas, liquid, power and signals at one time. This type of integrated slip rings generally are the customized products produced by the slip ring manufacturers. As the Chinese private slip ring manufacturers with the longest history, JINPAT Electronics, up to the present, has provided nearly a thousand of this kind of integrated slip ring models.
The large orders having been dealt are thanks to the rapid developments of automated manufacturing industry. Slip rings are key components on the automated production machines and equipment, therefore with the soar of the industry, there are greater demands in slip ring that can transmit power, fluid, gas and signals. From JINPAT’s client cases, there are more than half the orders are integrated slip ring that carry Ethernet signals, fluid and gas. And they are mostly installed on the automated machines.
Ethernet is a very common and efficient signal to carry data. It is especially popular in this trend of mechatronics era. With the years of R&D and innovation, now JINPAT Electronics is able to produce slip rings that can integrate 100M Ethernet signals and Gigabit Ethernet signals. And hopefully, JINPAT will soon come up with hydraulic pneumatic slip ring that integrates 10 Gigabit Ethernet signals.
Generally speaking, the technical difficulty lies in the potential leakage in the fluid/gas module. To solve this problem, high protection grading is needed. Most of JINPAT Electronics Fluid-Gas-Power-Signal Integrated Slip Rings are above IP54. LPPL000-03A-1605-0803-0602-9101-02E3 is a very typical integrated slip ring solution with multifunction. Besides, it is also a custom explosion-proof slip ring model. Among all of JINPAT’s custom slip ring solutions, this has the large voltage span. The voltage of different channels ranges from 5VAC to 4000VAC.
