SVTS B series slip ring assemblies from Servotecnica offer machine builders a continuously rotating electrical joint with a working life extending to 100 million revolutions at high speeds.
The range is aimed at demanding industrial applications in high throughput production machinery where gold alloy multifibre brushes and precious metal rings in IP65 fully sealed ABS/aluminum/stainless steel housings ensure the highly reliable transfer of electrical power and instrumentation signals through rotating structures.
SVTS B 03
A variant, the 70 mm diameter SVTS B 03, is particularly aimed at transferring power to the rotating heat-sealing blades in flow wrapping machines, as well as handling temperature signal output to the machine controller.
Available with full sales and technical support from Heason Technology, Servotecnica’s UK distribution partner, this variant is equipped with three 400V/20 A circuits as well as two 240V/2A signal circuits.
IP65 sealed
Available in two versions that facilitate machine washdown use: entirely housed and IP65 sealed or part-housed
It's 22 mm diameter through-hole allows direct mounting on the drive shaft of the rotating blade via four M3 set screws.
Available in two versions that facilitate machine washdown use: entirely housed and IP65 sealed or part-housed for IP65 when installed, both feature sealed cable gland electrical connection with lower power and customer-specified number of slip ring ‘ways’ available.
fiber bundle technology
Servotecnica’s SVTS fiber bundle technology has lower friction and provides an exceptionally long life when compared to the traditional wear-prone carbon brush designs used by other manufacturers.
The multi-fiber bundles require no lubricants and produce only negligible debris which significantly reduces the need for routine servicing or frequent brush replacement.
Benefits
High-precision stainless steel support bearings also help ensure a long working life and a specified nominal speed capability of 400 rpm enables use on high-throughput machinery.
Other benefits include improved signal quality as the (up to ten) individual gold-alloy strand brushes ensure multiple-point contact with the slip ring and a much higher capacity for handling high transient loads and better resistance to shock and vibration. Other versions of the SVTS-B series have fast on-type male terminal connectors where sealing is not required.
range of slip rings and rotary joints
Industries served to include wind turbines, cranes & hoists, process control, medical and pharmaceutical
Servotecnica’s considerable range of slip rings and rotary joints include standard and customized models with specifiable multiple channels for power and signal transmission as well as Ethernet, radio, fiber optic, and fluidic transfer available as housed or part-housed explosion-proof, highly ruggedized, open type, and pancake slip ring assemblies.
As well as packaging machinery and industrial manufacturing plant, other industries served to include wind turbines, cranes & hoists, process control, medical and pharmaceutical production machinery, amusement equipment, machine tools, and more.
