Compact economical slip rings

March 2009 Sensors & Transducers

Kübler has launched a new generation of slip rings onto the market with its two models – IST-SR085 and IST-SR060; these combine technical innovation with the product quality and compact size for which Kübler is renowned.

Slip rings can be used in many diverse industry sectors (such as for video surveillance CCTV equipment, cranes and rotary tables); they transmit electrical load current, signals or data (also pneumatic or hydraulic, on request) from a stationary to a rotating platform. The transmission between the stator and rotor units takes place via sliding contacts (for current up to 40 A) and is extremely reliable. Fieldbus signals such as Profibus, CANopen etc, can be transmitted at up to 12 MB. The modular system construction offers the highest degree of flexibility in a wide variety of applications. Model SR060 is for example ideally suited for the heating of sealing rollers in packaging machines.

Thanks to their fully encapsulated housing (in high-grade glass-reinforced plastic), high protection rating (up to IP64) and resistance to vibration, these rugged products are perfectly suited to industrial use; they guarantee long service intervals of more than 50 million revolutions and a long service life of over 500 million revolutions – better than the majority of other competitive products. The maximum speed of 800 RPM is also a figure that is unmatched on the market.

The units are simple and convenient to handle and maintain, as a result of the easily accessible, sturdy connections, removable maintenance window as well as the individually replaceable brush rings.
