The concept of high-power carbon brush slip rings pertains to a specialized rotating connection device designed for transmitting high-power currents and signals. Widely utilized in equipment requiring substantial electrical energy or signal transmission, such as large-scale machinery, industrial robots, rotating stages, and various types of cranes, high-power carbon brush slip rings play a crucial role. Their unique feature lies in the use of carbon brushes as friction materials, ensuring stable operation even under conditions of high load and high rotation speed.
In the product range of JINPAT, products with a single path exceeding 50A are categorized as part of the high-power series, and they adopt a design based on carbon brush friction pairs. JINPAT engineers also determine the structure of slip rings based on variations in product installation environments and purposes.
This type of slip ring boasts an array of remarkable characteristics. Firstly, it possesses exceptional power transmission capability, reliably accommodating the transmission of high currents and powers, thus meeting the demands of large-scale equipment and high-load applications. Secondly, high-power carbon brush slip rings can maintain stable signal transmission while power is being transferred, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of data transmission and providing crucial support for the normal operation of equipment.
Typically, the most commonly used design for this type of high-power carbon brush slip ring is the open-frame design.The appearance of this type of carbon brush slip ring includes several types such as box-shaped, cylindrical, and other irregular shapes. Depending on requirements, it can also be designed with appropriately sized through holes.This type of product finds the most extensive application in equipment such as rotating stages, tower cranes, shore cranes, offshore cranes, heavy-duty winches, and all-electric thrusters. On the other hand, the use of traditional stacked designs for carbon brush slip rings is relatively less common. The main characteristic of these products is space efficiency, enabling them to be made very compact. Their appearance resembles that of a larger hollow shaft. At present, the most common application of this type of carbon brush slip ring is in the control centers of marine seismic exploration industry robots.
Moreover, as the core friction material of the slip ring, carbon brushes exhibit outstanding wear resistance. This implies that they can maintain stable performance over extended periods of use, thereby extending the operational lifespan of the slip ring. Addressing the demand for high-speed rotational motion, high-power carbon brush slip rings also display excellent adaptability. They can maintain stable power and signal transmission even during high-speed rotation, without affecting the overall performance of the equipment.
In terms of applications, high-power carbon brush slip rings find widespread use in various fields. Whether it is high-power power transmission for large-scale machinery or signal transmission during high-speed movement of industrial robots, this type of slip ring is up to the task. The smooth operation of rotating stages, precise control of cranes,and even multi-axis motion control in industrial automation all rely on the support of high-power carbon brush slip rings.
As a pioneer among international slip ring manufacturers, JINPAT has developed corresponding product cases for the various fields mentioned earlier. The characteristics of carbon brush slip rings used differ based on the application equipment or industry. For example, slip rings for cranes used on offshore oil drilling platforms possess not only powerful power transmission capabilities but also a high explosion-proof design.This equips them to operate stably in the environment of oil and gas extraction. The high explosion-proof rating design also brings a higher level of protection to the slip rings, making it safe to say that high explosion-proof rating carbon brush slip rings coexist with high protection level carbon brush slip rings.
