Operating principle of a slip ring
Slip rings are electromechanical components which allow electrical power, signal and data transmission between stationary and rotating systems. The spectrum ranges from just a few mV or mA to many hundreds A and few thousand V. Our slip ring systems withstand harsh environmental influences such as corrosive, salty air or severe vibration. LTN slip ring systems are found in many electrical machines and ensure the reliable functionality of entire machine systems.
LTN slip rings meet all the requirements for error-free transmission of real time fieldbus systems. Of course, all our Fast, Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet slip rings are certified according to TIA-568 and EN 50173.
Our components conform to the highest standards of durability, sensitivity and reaction time and are therefore an important part of automation, robotics and all other highly dynamic applications.
In addition, we offer contactless fibre-optic rotary joints for contactless transmission at high data rates.
