Rotary ovens?[edit]

Presumably, large rotary ovens (used to cast things like telescope mirrors and the like) also use slip rings to carry power to the oven heaters. Too bad Wiki hasn't yet got an article on rotary ovens, ehh?

Rotary Ovens used mainly in the kitchen world, are like convection ovens , but are bigger —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.198.25.10 (talk) 21:40, 28 October 2007 (UTC) Atlant 19:19, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also too bad Wiki hasn't yet got an article on Roll-Rings, ehh? The next-generation in slip rings, Roll-Rings replace the sliding contact of slip rings with rolling contact for electrical transfer that has much lower contact resistance. Lower contact resistance allows for higher power handling without heating effects (I2R losses) that exacerbate wear in a slip ring and compromise system performance. Roll-Rings do away with cleaning and lubrication requirements which can compromise mission readiness, causing down time and unscheduled maintenance. Higher preload of the Roll-Ring contacts for operation in extreme shock and vibration environments is possible without concern for increased friction (drag) and wear. Low noise is provided for clean transfer of high fidelity analog signals and the gold plated finish provides long life resistance to oxidation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.46.20 (talk) 20:59, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The illustration[edit]

Has anybody else noticed that the "Sketch of an electric motor with slip rings" illustration has German captions? Isn't this the English Wikipedia?

Awkward wording: "If your application ... your choice ..." 128.219.49.8 (talk) 18:38, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Even with English captions, it's still very confusing. I'm going through my photos to see if I have a better picture of slip rings. --Wtshymanski (talk) 01:58, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you had a shorting bar cutting out two phases and leaving the brushes connected, you have a severely broken brush-lifting system. Terrible, terrible diagram and I don't have the graphics-fu to fix it myself. I do have another picture of a slip ring assembly. --Wtshymanski (talk) 15:51, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

not really armature coil[edit]

"One of the two rings is connected to one end of the armature winding and other one to the other end of the armature winding" This a commutator in a DC Motor, that transfer current to the armature located in the rotor. But in AC Generators as the article addresses, slips rings are found, and they are used in the excitation circuit, to create the magnetic field, and this coils are called Field coils. See here Electrical generator#Terminology. Therefore I suggest changing the word armature for field.

Experience with mfg and inspection of highly sophisticated slip rings[edit]

During college (1966-68) I worked in Blacksburg VA for PolyScientific Corp which made sophisticated slip rings for NASA, US Navy, Boeing, Bombardier and others. When I get some time I will improve this article. These things were used in guidance systems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BillFloyd (talk • contribs) 00:40, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Add notable applications[edit]

6th or later generation CT (X-ray computed tomography) is a very important example of slip-ring technology CrocodilesAreForWimps (talk) 03:08, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Slip rirng Application[edit]

slip rings are widely adopted in Wind energy, Aerospace,Industrial automation,Intelligent robots,www.flyda-slipring.com Engineering machinery,Measurement instruments,Medial equipment s, Packaging machinery,Security etc. fields. They are specialized in continuous transmission for medium and pressure of power, s^[1]ignal,pneumatic,hydraulic under 360° unrestrained rotation to make sure the whole system will be steady rotating without any damage to the prone wires.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyda-Grace (talk • contribs) 04:31, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
