Slip Ring connector is used in an electrotechnical device that allows an effective
transmission of power and signals from a stator to a rotor. It is also known as a
rotary electrical connector.
PTZ Cameras in CCTV system require transmission of power and electrical
signals from a stationary to a rotating structure and used in electromechanical
system that requires rotation while transmitting power or signals still On. Slip
Ring use to protect the wires dangling from movable joints.
There are three main components are required to make the Slip Ring connector.
First, the ring is designed in such a way that is electrically conductive. They
provide a circular path for over a 360 degrees rotation of a ring assembly.
Second, the brushes are used to establish electrical contact between the
stationary and the rotating part of the concerned assembly. It is usually mounted
on a brush block assembly and is generally attached to the stator component.
Third, The output and input leads introduce a connection of brushes and the ring
to the external environment.
We should keep in mind the Maximum rotational speed during operation is
required.
