FAQ
What is a power slip ring and when is it needed?
A power slip ring (or high power slip ring) is designed to transmit large electrical currents between stationary and rotating components. It’s essential in heavy-duty applications like cranes, stackers, reclaimers, and rotary platforms where continuous rotation and high current loads are required.
What makes Penlink’s high power slip rings suitable for harsh environments?
Penlink’s slip rings are built with stainless steel 316 housings, IP54 or higher protection, and EMC shielding. These features ensure resistance to dust, moisture, salt, and vibration, making them ideal for demanding industrial settings.
Can Penlink slip rings transmit both power and data simultaneously?
Yes. Penlink’s modular slip ring systems support simultaneous transmission of high current and complex signals such as Ethernet, Profibus, CANBus, encoder signals, and even fiber optics through integration of fiber optical rotary joint.
How does Penlink ensure that their slip rings operate reliably in harsh conditions?
We use IP-rated enclosures, EMC shielding, and durable contact materials. All components are tested for torque, dielectric strength, and insulation to ensure dependable operation.
How does Penlink customize its slip rings to meet specific customer requirements?
We begin each project with a thorough analysis of the customer’s needs and tailor the slip ring configuration accordingly. This includes mechanical constraints, electrical specifications, and environmental factors.
What types of signals and data can be transmitted through slip rings?
Slip rings can transmit various types of signals and data, including Ethernet, Profibus, CANBus, and fiber optic signals.
What tests are performed on slip rings to ensure their durability and reliability?
Slip rings are tested for insulation resistance, dielectric strength, shock, vibration, and humidity. Third-party inspections can also be arranged if needed.
What maintenance is required for Penlink slip rings?
Maintenance should be performed every 6 to 12 months, depending on the operating environment. It includes visual inspection, cleaning of power rings and brushes, and checking for signs of overheating or wear. Detailed procedures are outlined in Penlink’s operation manuals.
