Slip Ring Mounting

Recommended procedure for properly mounting stock slip ring assemblies.

Slip Ring Mounting Methods

.50 & 2.00 Inch Diameter Thru Bore

  1. Rigidly mount rotor to shaft using rotor set screws.
  2. Align brush block on rotor and push radially into position. Do not slide brush block axially across rotor.
  3. Secure brush block to mounting bracket.
  4. Verfiy proper alignment of brush contacts on rings.
  5. If required, remove brush block and adjust axial position of brush block mounting bracket or rotor to center brush contacts on rings.
  6. Solder stator leads to stator solder terminals.
.50 & 2.00 Inch Diameter Thru Bore

1.00 & 1.50 Inch Diameter Thru Bore

  1. Rigidly mount rotor to shaft using appropriate adhesive (epoxy, Locktite®, etc.), or mechanical method (collar, wave ring, etc.).
  2. Align brush block on rotor and push radially into position. Do not slide brush block axially across rotor.
  3. Secure brush block to mounting bracket.
  4. Verify proper alignment of brush contacts on rings.
  5. If required, remove brush block and adjust axial position of brush block mounting bracket to center brush contacts on rings.
  6. Solder stator leads to stator solder terminals.

Self-Contained Housing Rigid / Rotor Floating

  1. Secure slip ring housing to mounting bracket. 1/4-inch bolts can be inserted through .265 inch diameter thru holes.
  2. Attach rotor using some type of flexible coupling method (customer supplied).
