Diy Pancake Slip Ring
Special high vacuum sealing technology precious metal brush ensure the high reliability transmitting and rotating performance of slip ring.
Diy pancake slip ring. How do you make your own slip ring. The pancake slip rings with housing are similar to the through bore slip rings with special focus on minimum height. These slip rings are also referred to as a platter slip ring or called flat ring style. Pancake type slip rings are used in applications where slip ring have limited space in height direction.
Pancake slip rings are designed for space critical applications regarding height dimensions. When you consider their multitude of uses its easy to see why. Similarly general pancake type slip rings have two parts one is stationary and the other one is rotatory made up of different materials based on the requirements. With many advantages such as low torque low friction low electrical noise and long life pancake slip rings are mainly applied to transmit.
When electric voltage passes from this device the static part takes signals as an input and provides output to ring. As the flat shape is similar to a platter they are also named flat slip rings and platter slip rings. This series slip ring have features of minimum height thickness large od it looks like a plate therefore it also called plate slip ring using precious metal contacts it is table low torque low loss free maintenance low noise and long life. Read about diy slip rings.
Slip rings perform the same function as a general slip ring but come in handy when the height available is limited while the diameter is available. Combinent makes also large pancake slip rings for reclaimers used in bulk material handling industry. Those pancake slip rings have typically through bore between 500mm to 1000mm. Pancake slipring is designed for a limited height situation which do not have any limitation in od.
The rotation of rings makes a connection and transmission occur. In medical measure test print and textile industry. Its actually a surprisingly common question.
