Application Note

Electro-Optical Slip Rings for Offshore Applications

Our strength is producing slip rings for harsh environments. We know what technical specifications and requirements that are important for slip rings to minimize downtime offshore. We can offer modified solutions based on our standard electro-optical slip rings or a total customized solution if your application need it.

We optimize the design to meet your requirements

Talk to us about your needs and we will create an electro-optical slip ring that will meet the requirements of your project. We will optimize all the important aspect of the component – this means that we can modify ampere, voltage, how many rings for signals, data, and power, type of cable exits, number of fiber channels, and the diameter and length of the component according to the specifications. Our electro-optical slip rings are all made of stainless steel as it’s a very common component for offshore operations.

Advantages

  • Diameter of component
  • Internal Heaters
  • Fiber-Ready-Structure
  • High Voltage
  • Choose the Number of Rings
  • Exits, Glands, and Nipples

Advantages using fiber brush technology

Our fiber brushes offers significant improvement over carbon brushes in both data and current transfer, offering extended brush and slip ring service life, high current capacity, and limit any service need to none, and reduce the electrical noise significantly. Depending on the ring surface, you can have even longer life-time and higher speed of the transmission.

The application note displays a few examples of possible modified electro-optical slip rings that is perfect for offshore operation, no matter the end application. Download the application note to read more about the possibilites when working with Penlink.
