SLIP RINGS
McGeoch
Technology
specialises
in
the
design,
ongoing
development
and
manufacture
of
a
wide
range
of
highly
sophisticated slip rings.
Our
extensive
expertise
and
engineering
development
facilities
mean
that
we
can
respond
quickly
and
efficiently
to
any specific needs be they for small or larger quantities.
A
slip
ring
is
an
electromechanical
device
that
allows
the
transmission
of
power
and
electrical
signals
from
a
stationary
to
a
rotating
structure.
A
slip
ring
can
be
used
in
any
electromechanical
system
that
requires
rotation
while
transmitting
power
or
signals.
It
can
improve
mechanical
performance,
simplify
system
operation
and
eliminate
damage-prone wires dangling from movable joints.
Also
called
rotary
electrical
interfaces,
rotating
electrical
connectors,
collectors,
swivels,
or
electrical
rotary
joints,
these
rings
are
commonly
found
in
slip
ring
motors,
electrical
generators
for
alternating
current
(AC)
systems
and
alternators
and
in
packaging
machinery,
cable
reels,
and
wind
turbines.
They
can
be
used
on
any
rotating
object
to
transfer
power,
control
circuits,
or
analog
or
digital
signals
including
data
such
as
those
found
on
towed
array
sonar,
aerodrome
beacons,
rotating
tanks,
power
shovels,
radio
telescopes
and
canmakers.
McGeoch
slip
rings
are
standard
equipment
in
many
applications
throughout
the
defence
industry.
In
industrial
applications
too,
McGeoch
slip
rings
can
be
found
in
winches,
rotating plant and sludge pumps.
