Orbex Group Slip Ring Selection Form with FORJ

Types of Signals

Orbex differentiates signals into power circuits and signal circuits. In general, a power circuit is used to transfer power to the rotating portion of the machine, not to transfer data. Depending on the slip ring family, power circuits can transfer 5, 10, 15, or 20 amps per circuit, and standard voltages up to 600 VAC. Higher voltages and higher currents are available as custom configurations.

Signal circuits are normally rated at 2 amps/circuit, and are normally used to transfer data, or power that is lower voltage and less than 2 amps per signal. Signal circuits are often used to transfer digital data, but this will be selected in the next section since high speed data often needs special cabling, shielding and/or termination.

Data Circuits

Data circuits can be Ethernet, CAN, Profibus, USB 2.0 or slower, HD-SDI, and other standard data interfaces. Ethernet transmission rates of 1000Mbps. are generally achievable on most slip rings if properly configured.

Dynamic and Life Requirements

Orbex slip rings have different brush and ring and bearings designs that allow for different top speeds and different operating life ratings. Standard slip rings have rated speeds of 250 rpm. With special brush construction, speeds of a few thousand rpm are possible.

Environmental

Orbex slip rings are offered in IP51 and IP65. The -F option is the IP65 version and is available for most configurations. The standard temperature range is -20 to +80°C. For extended temperature ranges, the -T option increases the temperature range from -40 to +85°C. Wider temperature ranges can be addressed as custom solutions.
