We engineer each Smith Services slip ring to deliver greater durability and easier maintenance via three key features.
- Enjoy simple cleanup and stronger protection against deterioration from water intrusion thanks to our slip rings’ non-porous, oil- and chemical-resistant insulation
- Quickly and easily service the collector ring assembly and subcomponents onsite with the slip ring’s convenient split design
- Get built-in defense against electric overloads with surge protection incorporated into the assembly
- Polymer shell – See greater durability from a shell that’s nonporous, chemical resistant, and thermally stable to 280°F with a 500 v/mil dielectric rating strength.
- Split design – Easily install components or replace worn or damaged parts at your facility.
- Surge arrestor – Contained within the hub, this element protects insulators from field discharge resistor failure at startup, and prevents shorting in operation by protecting against environmental contamination and wear.
- Continuity brackets – Maintain the integrity of electrical connections across the ring halves.
- Pinned rings – Ensure split joint alignment for a smooth brush transition while in operation.
