Six-way slip ring saves space
Miniature six-way slip ring, in standard and flanged versions, provides a compact, reliable and cost-effective solution in a wide range of applications where space is at a premium.
Modular industrial slip rings are cost effective
Modular industrial slip rings are cost effective where the transfer of electrical, digital and video signals or electrical power from stationary to rotating components is required.
Available with either six 6Amp circuits or eighteen 2Amp circuits, the fibre optic H18 FORJ is a cost effective solution for applications requiring high quality video and digital signals.
In response to customer demand, the innovative H18/FORJ has been designed for robotic and military applications that need high-speed data transfer as well as conventional optical signal and power.
Used for transferring large amounts of information through a rotational interface, fibre optic joints produce little interference and are particularly useful in hazardous environments.
The latest addition to the popular H Series is suitable for high data rate transmission of up to 2.5GB/sec.
Ideal for retrofit projects and upgrades, it measures only 87.7mm long and can be easily mounted using the 5.5mm diameter holes in the flange.
The rugged assemblies can be used at temperatures from -20 to +60degC and provide a maximum speed of up to 500rpm.
I.D.M Electronics, Focal Technologies Corporation and the Electro-Tec Corporation in the USA, are now the world's leading suppliers of slip rings.
As part of the Kaydon Corporation each has its area of specialisation and together they offer customers a complete range of devices to cover most industrial applications.
The three companies can provide a product solution for any system having a requirement to pass signals, power and fluids across a rotational interface.
The group has earned an outstanding reputation for technical innovation, high standards of quality and excellent customer service.
