Through-Bore Slip Ring (LPT080)

LPT080 Series Slip Ring with Through Bore 80mm

Description

A slip ring can be used in any electromechanical system that requires unrestrained, continuous rotation while transferring power or data from a stationary to a rotating structure. A slip ring is also called a rotary electrical interface, collector, swivel or a commutation. A slip ring can improve system performance by simplifying operations and eliminating damage-prone wires dangling from movable joints.

The 80mm unobstructed through-bore provides routing space for hydraulics, pneumatics or for a concentric shaft mount. The LPT080 uses our fiber brush technology which offers several advantages over conventional slip ring contacts including multiple points of contact per brush bundle, low contact force per fiber and low contact wear rates. In addition, fiber brushes do not require lubrication and produce virtually no wear debris. The LPT080 features field serviceable brush blocks.
