  Overview Slip rings are used to transmit power, signals, and data between the rotating and stationary parts of the rotating equipment. Mercury slip rings   serve the same purpose, yet they haven't been widely adopted. Today, let's discuss the reasons behind this.   What Are Mercury Slip Rings and How Do They Work? A mercury slip ring is a special type of slip ring, also known as a mercury - wetted slip ring or mercury contact. It uses liquid mercury as the conductive medium instead of traditional conductive components like carbon brushes to transfer signals and current between rotating devices. Due to its fluidity, when the rotor rotates, mercury maintains contact with the conductive ring at the molecular level throughout the rotation, ensuring a good electrical connection. Limitations of Mercury Slip Rings l Limited Operating Temperature :   Due to the large coefficient of thermal expansion of mercury, mercury slip rings cannot be used at high temperatures. Their ...

  Overview Conductive slip rings can transmit power, signals and data, and they can be used in rotating equipment such as industrial manufacturing and entertainment facilities. However, only when they are correctly wired can they operate normally. Today, ByTune will explain the correct operation skills to help you better use the slip rings.   The Wiring Part of the Slip Ring The conductive slip ring mainly consists of two parts: the stator (conductive ring) and the rotor (brush). Among them, the conductive ring is fixed on the copper ring of the upper bearing base, and its wiring port is connected to an external fixed power supply or signal source. The brush is fixed on the outer casing of the slip ring, and the outgoing line is generally designed near the central axis. The two achieve electrical conduction through close and continuous contact. Principles to be Noted When Wiring l Matching of Electrical Parameters: The rated voltage, current, number of channels and other param...
