Slip Rings

allows for tremendous flexibility in dealing with systems size requirements when larger versions are not an option. Capsules with up to 56 contacts are available.

used in applications up to 10,000 rpm. Fiber Brush contacts provide long-life and operation up to 10,000 rpm without the need for cooling equipment.

features traditional sliding contact technology for the transfer of power and control signals utilizing fiber brush technology. The fiber brush technology’s low contact force provides extremely long life while producing minimal wear debris, compared to composite type graphite brushes. Lower brush forces also make the system quieter.

typically used in de-icing and blade-folding systems and main and tail rotors. Instrumentation and data transfer capabilities are available and standard on many designs.

the unobstructed bore through the center provides routing space for hydraulics, pneumatics or for a concentric shaft mount. Our through-bore slip rings feature our fiber brush technology which offers several advantages over conventional slip ring technology including multiple points of contact force per fiber and low contact wear rates. In addition, fiber brushes do not require lubrication and produce virtually no wear debris.

Fiber Optic Rotary Joints (FORJs) are to optical signals what electrical slip rings are to electrical signals, a means to pass signals across rotating interfaces, particularly when transmitting large amounts of data. FORJs maintain the intrinsic advantages of fiber end to end. Our FORJs are designed for the most demanding conditions and are tested to rigorous environmental and performance standards. All materials and components have been selected to ensure the highest reliability in extreme environments, including shock and vibration, temperature, humidity and dust. These FORJ designs have proven performance records in both industrial and military applications with these environmental conditions.

Wind turbines require reliable transmission of power and data signals from the nacelle to the control system for the rotary blades. Moog’s slip rings provide the performance and quality needed in demanding environments. Costly downtime is eliminated by using fiber brushes and robust mechanical components in the slip ring design.
