Thank you for your interest in Trolex Slip Ring Units.

Slip Ring Units have been a major part of the company product portfolio since trading began in 1972. Each type has been designed and manufactured with maximum consideration for the application - many being for the mining, offshore and petrochemical industries where Explosion Protected equipment is necessary. (See also Design page).

 
     
 

 

 
 

TRANSMISSION OF SIGNALS THROUGH SLIP RINGS

 
 

A Trolex Slip Ring Unit is as reliable as any other electrical control or monitoring device using well established and proven designs.
The transmission of signals is not a problem, if circuit characteristics are known we are pleased to consider the details and where possible provide information relating to similar applications.

The slip ring circuits are of the sliding contact design with a minimum of two-brush contacts/slip ring. Precious metals are used to improve data transmission of signal circuits.

 
     
 

 

 
 

TYPES OF SIGNALS

 
 

Listed below are samples of the type of signals, digital or analogue that have successfully been transmitted across the rotating interface of our Slip Ring Units.

  • Video
  • Communications
  • Serial Links RS232/RS485
  • Superimposed signals onto 1kV power circuits
  • Data - PLC 115.2 kBaud (2 x 1,000,000 transmitted and received messages without an error)
  • ESD signals
  • Fire & Gas
  • Fibre optic*: single or multi-mode and 1mm plastics fibre
 
     
 

* For pressure compensated and multi-pass Fibre Optic Rotary Joints, we are able to pass on the benefits of our suppliers' warranties (please consult our Terms and Conditions of Sale for more information)

 
     
     
 

 

 
 

TESTING

 
 

All units are tested prior to despatch, this includes but is not limited to, continuity, insulation resistance, dielectric strength, torque and rotational tests.

Electrically the circuits are capable of moderate fault levels and surges without detriment. The slip rings, brush gear and terminal designs are well proven.

 
     
 

 

 
 

DESPATCH

 
 

A comprehensive Maintenance and Instruction Manual is supplied with each unit and includes a Trolex Certificate of Conformity and Declaration of Incorporation. All Trolex Engineering products are carefully packaged for protection during transport.
