Maximum installation freedom with houseless slip rings. Other designations are also split slip ring or PCB design slip ring. Open or housing-less slip rings consist only of the current-carrying components. By omitting the housing, they ensure maximum flexibility and freedom during installation. The slip rings are manufactured in standard dimensions. This makes the use of industry-standard housings and hollow shafts particularly easy. On request, the manufacturer can offer its support in the selection of suitable housing-slip ring combinations.
Enclosureless slip rings have the following advantages:
- Extremely space-saving
- Extremely low weight
- Easily integrated into existing, open systems
- Made to standard dimensions
- Easy to replace
- Repairable within narrow limits
- Corrosion-resistant contacts
- Minimal wear
By eliminating the housing, the components of these slip rings are limited to what is necessary. This makes them very light and extremely flexible in installation. The open design makes all components accessible. In contrast to many enclosed slip rings, easy maintenance work can be carried out on enclosed slip rings: cleaning or light adjustment of brush contacts is particularly easy with these components. Due to the high-quality design and the use of precious metals as contact material, the enclosed slip rings are very durable. Like all slip rings, these components allow continuous rotation through 360°.
