Within JINPAT slip ring product line, the through-hole slip ring is a strategic product widely applied in various large-scale equipment. With the popularization of automation and electromechanical integration in industries, common computer signals such as USB and Ethernet have long been integrated into slip rings. However, due to the limitations of the through-hole structure, signals like USB 3.0, HDMI, and DP cannot be transmitted through this type of slip ring. In contrast, Ethernet signals, with their unique signal characteristics, are more commonly found in through-hole slip rings. As a well-established slip ring manufacturer with over20 years of industry experience, JINPAT has customized nearly a thousand through-hole Ethernet signal slip rings for customers.

 

JINPAT demonstrates exceptional technical capabilities in the field of Ethernet signal slip rings, particularly in terms of the maximum supported aperture. In through-hole slip rings, the transmissionof signals is closely related to the size of the through-hole. Currently,JINPAT 100 Mbps Ethernet slip rings can achieve transmission within a maximum300 mm aperture, while their 1 Gbps Ethernet slip rings can transmit within a maximum 180 mm aperture. As JINPAT continues to improve its products and technologies, these figures are expected to be further surpassed in the future,resulting in even larger apertures for through-hole Ethernet signal slip rings.

 

JINPAT delivers a large number of Ethernet signal slip rings every month. Among these products, apart from capsule Ethernet slip rings specifically developed for monitoring devices, the majority consists of hollow shaft series Ethernet slip rings. For instance, the latest product introduced, LPT038-02E3, is a through-hole slip ring without a powerring, integrating only two channels of 1 Gbps Ethernet signals. JINPAT also offers other newly developed through-hole Ethernet signal integrated slip ring models, including LPT045-0410-04S-01E3, LPT030-0505-04S-01E3,LPT050-0405-01PE-01E3, LPT130-0812-08S-E2-02E3, and more.

Medical equipment has always been representative of high-value products in the field of medical devices,especially devices like CT scanners. Like other industrial sectors, the medical device industry also relies on the support of numerous downstream industries.JINPAT, as a specialized slip ring manufacturer, is part of the medical device industry chain and has the ability to provide corresponding slip rings for various medical equipment with different functions.

 

JINPAT has developed multiple types of slip rings for medical equipment. Apart from the large through-hole pancake slip rings with a diameter exceeding 1200mm developed for CT scanners, the rest of the slip rings are categorized as medium and small-sized products. Among these products, the capsule series slip rings are the mainstay, with only a few models belonging to the hollow shaft series. Whether capsule slip rings or hollow shaft slip rings, these products developed for medical equipment are primarily customized models. To meet the stability requirements of medical equipment, these slip rings use gold-to-gold contacts and have been optimized in certain performance aspects.

 

In some specialized medical equipment with unique functions, centrifuges or other high-speed systems are integrated, and the slip rings associated with these components are mostly high-speed products.Since the rotational speed of these components generally exceeds 500rpm,standard slip rings have a design speed limit of 300rpm, which is insufficient to meet the requirements. In order to address the needs of the medical industry and similar fields, JINPAT has developed the LPC/LPM-YS series of capsule standard slip rings. This series of products has a design speed of up to 2000rpm, meeting the requirements of the majority of medical or other high-end instrument equipment available on the market.

 

Compared to the capsule slip rings with an outer diameter of 22mm, hollow shaft slip rings have much larger copper ring diameters, which limits the transmission of certain special signals. However,this limitation is not significant in the field of medical equipment, as the most commonly used hollow shaft slip rings have a bore size of 12.7mm, and common signals in medical instruments such as USB 2.0, Ethernet, and pulse signals can be transmitted within this bore size. Hollow shaft slip rings also have an advantage in that the center through-hole can be utilized, and it can become an optoelectronic integrated slip ring after installing fiber optic slip rings. In many slip ring cases developed by JINPAT for medical equipment, there are also products with integrated single-channel fiber optic slip rings.

As a device for rotating conduction and transmitting electrical signals, the conductive slip ring, although structurally relatively simple, requires a series of standards to regulate various operations during raw material procurement, manufacturing, and other processes to ensure its operational stability. After the conductive slip ring is manufactured into a finished product, it also undergoes multiple rounds of inspections. JINPAT, as an experienced international manufacturer of conductive slip rings, has developed a unique and distinctive product testing process.Apart from basic appearance checks, in terms of mechanics and electronics,JINPAT has many unique product testing schemes.

 

Take mechanical performance as an example.To verify whether a conductive slip ring meets the design criteria, JINPAT places multiple samples on the JINPAT lifespan test bench. Under powered conditions, the slip rings undergo lifespan tests at ultra-high intensities,running continuously for twenty-four hours a day. For example, the LPC-0210designed by JINPAT with a lifespan of over 100 million rotations, even though the client’s required speed is only 300rpm, JINPAT increases the speed to1200rpm on the test bench to quickly determine its total lifespan, thusobtaining accurate lifespan data in a shorter time. For first-piece products or new structure conductive slip rings, this testing method is particularly stringent.

 

Excellent mechanical quality conductive slip rings also require excellent electrical performance to be considered a perfect product. Electrical performance also needs to be determined through testing. For instance, on JINPAT’s lifespan test bench, the electrical parameters of the products are recorded at regular intervals. Different types of conductive slip rings have slightly different electrical parameters. When one or more of these parameters exceed the design values, its lifespan limit can be determined based on these parameters.

 

According to industry regulations for conductive slip rings and standards related to the design lifespan of electrical products, professional manufacturers like JINPAT generally inspect the insulation resistance, dynamic contact resistance, contact resistance fluctuation value, and isolation degree of the conductive slip rings one by one.

JINPAT is also a company focused on innovation and research and development. It has gained global recognition, but JINPAT continues to strive for higher product quality. Every year, they make process improvements and overall design enhancements to their mass-produced products. JINPAT’ standard products have undergone several iterations and updates.

 

JINPAT has always set extremely strict standards for each product. To meet these standards, JINPAT has established multiple laboratories, such as raw material testing laboratories, electrical performance testing laboratories, protection level testing and environmental simulation laboratories, and product lifetime testing centers.

 

Taking the conductive slip ring lifetime testing center as an example, to obtain the most extreme data, the JINPAT Lifetime Testing Center operates nearly 30 sets of equipment 24 hours a day,year-round. Here, data is constantly being refreshed and surpassed at regular intervals. Every piece of data detected by the lifetime testing center is fed back to the manufacturing and design processes. In the lifetime testing center,the highest lifetime test data for JINPAT conductive slip rings has exceeded360 million revolutions, setting a new record for the lifetime of JINPAT conductive slip rings.

 

Based on this valuable testing data and to meet the demands of certain specific markets, JINPAT has developed and designed a range of high-lifetime conductive slip rings. This series of slip rings features standardized and modular designs, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly of the slip ring structure and rapid replacement of easily damaged parts. Compared to conventional slip rings, which become unusable once damaged, JINPAT’s high-lifetime slip rings offer better maintainability. The average lifetime of JINPAT’s high-lifetime slip rings has exceeded 250 million revolutions, reaching an international leading level. Depending on the rotation speed, their equivalent lifetime at room temperature can exceed 20 years.

 

Compared to other manufacturing industries,the situation in the conductive slip ring industry is quite unique, with a product customization rate exceeding 60%. As a long-standing slip ring manufacturer, around 70% of JINPAT’s product line consists of customized products. For high-lifetime conductive slip rings, JINPAT also providestailored services to its customers. JINPAT’s high-lifetime slip rings generally adopt a through-hole design, and the basic specifications such as the number of circuits, current carrying capacity, outer diameter, and hole diameter can be selected. The shell material can be aluminum alloy or engineering plastics, and the internal contacts can be gold-to-gold or other precious metals. In addition to transmitting current, this series of slip rings can also integrate signal transmission capabilities according to customer requirements, such as analog signals, digital signals, high-frequency signals, Ethernet, CAN bus signals,LSB, RS, Fire Wire, etc.
