MOFLON has been focusing on slip rings and rotary joints manufacturer for over ten years. The slip rings and rotary joints have been successfully performing in commercial and industrial applications for more than ten years, and in aerospace and military applications for more than five years. The products developed are for high-performance environments and flexible requirements typical applications that include camera systems, robotics, packaging machines, medical equipment, and automation systems. Responding to a customer's question on how to maintain a slip ring, the Mechanical Engineer said, "At MOFLON, slip ring maintenance is crucial to improve the working life of the slip ring and avoid long-time machine halt and repair; hence regular slip ring repair is essential. Maintenance schemes are available by the manufacturers depending on the slip ring type. Generally, we give a slip ring an annual check-up or 3-5 years maintenance to avoid breakdown. Brushes and rings too need maintenance for a long-time rotating. The maintenance time is not only related to the rotating number, but also the internal environment where the slip ring operates."
A slip ring being an electrochemical device that helps in transmission of power and electric signals from a stationary rotating structure assists clients who want to buy slip ring to use in an electrochemical system requiring rotation while transmitting power and signals. MOFLON slip rings contain higher quality materials, which include solid coin silver rings, gold-gold contact, graphite and silver brushes, aluminum alloys and much more. MOFLON uses the state of art CNC machines to build parts and an experienced workforce to assemble each slip ring.
Speaking about the types of slip rings that MOFLON has, the Manager said, "Our slip ring depends on the conductive property classification which includes the electric slip ring, fiber optic slip ring and much more. We also have slip rings classified according to industry including a high-speed electric slip ring, high-temperature conductive slip ring, anti-explosion slip ring and many more."
A slip ring is a sophisticated mechanical and electrical product hence before choosing; it is essential to consider some factors such as the rotating speed, current, voltage, size, and environment and so on. After a comprehensive evaluation, clients can select a suitable slip ring. Generally, the maximum contemporary slip ring allowed is the current value of safe operation that is dependent on the cross-sectional area of the conductive ring and the contact area of the brush and other integrated factors. If the slip ring exceeds the recommended value, it might generate heat, cause a fire to the contact surface and welding points will form between the brush and the conductive ring.
About MOFLON
MOFLON believes in the steadfast approach and commitment to maintaining its place as being the leading supplier in the industrial slip ring in the world. In securing further growth and expansion, MOFLON is currently focusing on more aspects of the company from its production and sales. MOFLON customers can get commutator and slip ring to make the current change direction every half-rotation, whereas the slip ring commutator maintains a connection between moving rotary and a stationary stator.
