Slip ring as an integral part of a modern industrial, wide range of applications, its importance is self-evident, the product of normal, good working condition is a necessary prerequisite for the normal operation of the entire industrial system. How to ensure the normal operation of the slip ring, we first need to buy high-quality products, in addition to need in everyday use, to strengthen the slip ring maintenance and repair. The length of the conductive ring structure of life in addition to the quality of design, materials, and is inseparable from the usual maintenance.

Maintenance need to understand the internal structure first. Slip ring, includes a spindle of the stator, brush holder, the rotor section. Brush holder for holding the filament, but also play a role in supporting the stator portion, wire brush brass ring in contact with the spindle, and maintain a certain pressure, in order to achieve the role of transport current between the wire and the copper ring brush pressure, determines the frictional resistance and the contact resistance of the conductive ring when rotating. When rotated, the pressure between the brush line and the copper ring changes, the centrifugal force generated during rotation of the spindle which will produce changes with the use of time, so the premise of guaranteeing product structure design, casual observation and maintenance also needs attention.

When the working time use, working faster than the design range structure, the conductive ring would overheat, increasing friction will accelerate wear conductive loop, directly affect the service life. So when the equipment is expected to exceed a certain normal operating range, you should inform us in the design stage, we will combine the actual situation given the most appropriate structure designed to guarantee the achievement of the equipment requirements, so as to make the slip ring is rotated freely, performance stable, and long service life.

With the use of slip rings more and more diversified, high-current applications of conductive loop gradually extensive, high-current contact with the material, we recommend using metal-graphite brush, the use of metal-graphite brushes, will generate dust, no dust regular cleaning, it will affect the insulating properties of the conductive ring. For high current products, our maintenance window will be designed to facilitate the usual daily maintenance, to ensure that life is not affected.

On the end, to understand the internal structure of the slip ring for proper maintenance is necessary, proper use, care and maintenance for the functioning and safety equipment can play a positive role.
