Slip Rings for Astronaut Training Equipment

Slip rings as electronic parts that can rotate in 360-degree, are applied in many kinds of electromechanical devices. Aside from those applied in industrial and construction backgrounds, electrical rotary joints are also entering people’s everyday life. You can see slip rings are installed in commercial electronic products like surveillance camera, domestic appliances and so on. As for high-end applications, the slip rings are installed on high precision medical equipment and aviation industry.

To begin with, let’s look at a basic training equipment for the astronaut, the high-speed rotating seat. And on the rotating chair, there are plenty of sensors to capture information about the vestibular function of the trainee. To guarantee the safety of the participant, the working voltage of the slip ring for high-speed rotating chair is kept within 60VAC. JINPAT Electronics slip rings are able to maintain a high-speed rotation while transmitting the sensor signals in a reliable way. Most of the signals are electro cardio signals and brain signals. JINPAT slip rings feature super low package loss.

Another frequently used facilities for astronaut training programs are the human centrifuges. The human centrifuge is built to simulate the launching process of the aircraft. It creates the condition to train aircrew to overcome G-induced loss of consciousness. And the structure of the human centrifuges is very complicated and integrates many sub-systems. The rotation and signal/power transmission rely on the slip rings. And on the supervisor end, is the modern computer system. Similar to the rotating chair, sensors also collect data related to the participant vestibular function.

These kind of training facilities for aircrew are a very niche part of the market. JINPAT Electronics spares no efforts in bringing the best slip rings for aviation industry.
