Are you new to Slip Rings? YES NO Are other Competitors Involved? YES NO PROJECT INFORMATION Project Name What's the Purpose of this Project? Which of the Following are Required? * Select all that Apply. Electrical Slip Ring High Frequency Rotary Joint (HFRJ) Fiber Optical Rotary Joint (FORJ) Swivel for Liquids, Air, Gas, or Hydraulic Oil Encoder for Angle Information Combo or Integration in cable reeling drum Combo or Integration in motor platform Combo or Integration in other parts Is a certain specification required, and/or a specification available to share? What environment will the unit be used in? (i.e., Dust, Water, Protected Dome) What's the range of the rotation speed? What's the expected number of rotations? Average per day versus per year. What is the expected Min. versus Max range of temperature this will be exposed to? What's the expected level of vibrations/shock that it will be exposed to? Please explain. Do you have a mock-up or design of drawings for where this unit will be placed? Which unit position will ensure the centric position within the system? Explain how the 'fixed' side of the unit will be placed. How should the prevention of rotation on either side of the slip ring be prevented? Does the unit require an inner bore for shaft or other equipment? Is a cable plan or a connection diagram available to share? Is this only for a prototype, or production of units? What's the projected yearly volume? Is there a target price range for this unit? ELECTRICAL SLIP RING UNIT - Please answer the following if this pertains to your request. What are the number of power rings required? What is the voltage and current of each ring? What is the current peak of each ring? What is the connector and/or cable type to be used? What is the required cable length? Is a ground ring required? Is there a required bolt size to be considered when creating this unit? What's the data rate and data type to be transmitted? What are the number of video channels required? What is the frequency and/or video standard to be used? HIGH FREQUENCY ROTARY JOINT (HFRJ) - Please answer the following is this pertains to your request. How many coax channels are required? What's the waveguide impedance of each channel? (50 Ohm / 75 Ohm) What's the frequency range of each channel? What's the max attenuation of each channel (in dB)? What's the max fluctuation of attenuation of each channel while rotating? What's the max Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of each channel? (VSWR is showing how good the energy is transferred from source to Antenna a VSWR value of 1 is a perfect transmission without energy reflection a VSWR value between 1 and 2 is typically acceptable) What's the max VSWR variation (VSWR WOW) while rotating? What's the Min and Max power to be transmitted over each channel? What's the peak power for each channel? FIBER OPTICAL ROTARY JOINT (FORJ) - Please answer the following if this pertains to your request. Which fiber is required? (for example polymer 1mm glass multi mode 50/125 or 62.5/125 glass single mode 9/125) How many channels are required? What's the required light wavelength for each fiber? (for example 660nm, 850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1500nm, …) What is the required fiber length? How many connectors are required for each fiber? SWIVEL FOR LIQUIDS, AIR, GAS OR HYDRAULIC OIL - Please answer the following if this pertains to your request. What is being transferred from static side to rotating side? How many channels are required? What's the required operating pressure for each channel? What's the required test pressure for each channel? What's the required size and thread of the connection ports? If known, what's the required volume flow? If known, what's the required max pressure drop for each channel? If required, what are the limits to the outer size / size of inner bore? Thank you! We will be in contact with you soon.
