A slip ring is an electrical component responsible for connecting and conveying energy and signals to a rotating body. According to the transmission medium, slip rings can be divided into electric slip rings, fluid slip rings, smooth rings, and can also be commonly referred to as "rotationally connected" or "rotationally connected".
The slip ring is usually installed at the center of rotation of the equipment and mainly consists of two parts: rotating and stationary. The rotating part connects the rotating structure of the equipment and rotates accordingly, which is called the "rotor", while the stationary part connects the energy of the fixed structure of the equipment, which is called the "stator".
The slip ring can be used in the field of electromechanical systems for continuous transmission of power and data signals through 360 ° rotation. It is often referred to as a conductive slip ring, brush, adapter, collector, collector, rotary joint, collector, return loop, commutator, etc. Its principle is to achieve precise transmission of current, data signals, images, and power transmission between two relative rotating mechanisms. Commonly used in the field of 360 ° unrestricted continuous rotation, requiring the transmission of electrical and data signals from a fixed position to a rotating position.
