How does a hydraulic slip ring work?
Dec 08, 2022
Hydraulic slip ring is a kind of equipment that transmits compressed air, cooling water, hydraulic oil, heat transfer oil and other fluid media in order to realize two relatively rotating pipelines, also known as hydraulic rotary joints. At present, it is widely used in the hydraulic system of large machinery and equipment.
Liquid slip ring is mainly powered by power elements, the same conductive slip ring is the same, in the fundamental sense of use, liquid slip ring mainly transports fluid medium and gas medium, the gas source and fluid source from a dynamic state 360 in any direction to the necessary components. Conductive slip ring mainly transmits current and electrical signals, the current or electrical signal from the stationary state to the necessary components, the common feature is the role of the transmission medium, is the industrial joint commonly used in industry.
From a structural point of view, the liquid ring is mainly composed of the rotor, housing, bearings and seals. Conductive slip rings are composed of brushes, insulating sheets, wires, shells, and hollow rotation. In terms of technical parameters, the liquid slip ring mainly refers to the number of channels, pressure, speed, temperature, etc. Conductive slip rings mainly include resistance, current, voltage, number of circuits, speed, temperature, etc. There are essential differences between liquid slip rings and conductive slip rings in terms of very important quality and performance. The most important aspects of liquid slip rings are speed and sealing, while conductive slip rings are mainly the overcurrent of the brush and the wear resistance of the brush.
There are essential differences between the two in terms of processing technology and design. The liquid slip ring is mainly connected to the pipe, and the conductive slip ring is mainly connected to the wire. From the way of medium entry, the liquid slip ring can choose to enter the medium from the hole in the flange or enter the medium from the side of the guest. The conductive slip ring can enter the medium from the wire at the upper end, or enter the medium from the wire at the lower end. Conductive slip rings are basically all flanged, but liquid slip rings are flanged and screwed. Special connections are also possible.

Set up according to the conditions of the equipment, the difference between the liquid ring and the conductive ring can basically be analyzed through the structure, connection method, and different media. Liquid slip rings and conductive slip rings are both 360 infinite rotation transmission media, and are commonly used industrial joints in the industry.
The main function of the hydraulic slip ring is to transmit pressure oil or other fluids to the hydraulic rotary cylinder, so that the piston rod moves left and right, and drives the sliding shaft to drive the jaws, so as to realize the radial loosening and clamping of the chuck. And ensure that the energy loss in the transmission process is as small as possible. Due to its own structural characteristics, it can also bear a certain axial force. At the same time, the hydraulic rotary slip ring itself is a self-balancing element.
Hydraulic slip rings are widely used, and the materials are generally divided into stainless steel or alloy shells, mainly transporting liquid media such as hydraulic oil and water, among which multi-channel structure is more common. There are two precision bearings in the slip ring, which are stable, durable, reliable, firm and flexible, with a small coefficient of friction and can run at high speed. Generally, hydraulic slip rings are commonly used to convey hydraulic media to hydraulic actuators above rotating equipment. This type of joint has high requirements for material quality, processing quality and installation accuracy. If used improperly, it is easy to malfunction and affect the normal operation of connected devices.
