Flange Slip Ring is a rotating electrical connection device that is fixedly installed through a flange structure. It can stably transmit power, signals or data when the equipment rotates continuously. Its core feature is the flange interface design, which is convenient for direct fixed connection with external equipment. It is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for installation accuracy and stability.
Core structure and features
Flange design:
The slip ring body has an integrated flange (round or square metal disc) with standard bolt holes, which can be directly installed on the equipment housing or bearing seat.
Flange size and hole position can be customized (such as DIN standard) to meet different mechanical interface requirements.
Functional features:
High stability: Flange fixation reduces poor contact caused by vibration and is suitable for high-speed/high-precision equipment.
Modular expansion: Supports superposition of multiple channels (power, Ethernet, gas-liquid passage, etc.) to simplify system wiring.
Protection: The flange sealing ring design (IP54/IP67) is dustproof, waterproof, and oil-resistant, and can adapt to harsh industrial environments.
Typical application cases
1. CNC machine tool rotary table
Function: Fixed to the machine tool spindle through the flange, transmit the motor power signal and encoder feedback data to ensure processing accuracy.
2. Radar antenna rotation system
Function: The flange is installed on the antenna base, transmits radar signals and power, and supports 360° continuous rotation scanning.
3. Packaging machinery rotation module
Function: The flange connects the drive unit, synchronously transmits servo control signals and air pressure, and realizes high-speed labeling and filling.
4. Ship steering system
Function: The flange seal design prevents seawater corrosion, transmits rudder angle sensor signals and hydraulic control instructions.
5. Automated storage robot
Function: The flange is installed on the rotating chassis, integrating power supply, communication and navigation signals, and supports flexible steering of AGV carts.
Selection parameters
a.Flange standard ：DIN 52100 / ISO 4402
b.Channel type : Power (0-480V) + RS485 + Air (0.8MPa)
c.Speed :≤1000 RPM (industrial grade)
d.Operating temperature :-30°C ~ +80°C
Summary
Flange slip rings solve the compatibility issues between mechanical installation and electrical connection in complex rotating systems through standardized flange interfaces and highly integrated transmission capabilities. They are particularly suitable for industrial automation scenarios that require high reliability and easy maintenance. The core of their design lies in the balance between structural strength and functional density, and they are key components in the fields of heavy machinery, precision equipment, etc.
