JINPAT Medical Equipment Slip Ring Types

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.

JINPAT Slip Ring Product Testing Scheme

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 Slip Ring Lifetime Testing Center provides product assurance

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.

Analysis of the Technical Characteristics of Different Fiber Optic Slip Ring Models by JINPAT

JINPAT has always focused on providing cost-effective solutions for 360° rotation electrical conduction and signal transmission across various industries. They excel in the development of high-difficulty slip rings, capable of integrating multiple signals, currents,and fluid paths into a single slip ring while meeting high standards for protection, vibration resistance, and impact resistance.

 

Addressing the demand for 360° rotation signal transmission in the automation sector, JINPAT has developed various models of signal slip rings. Apart from specialized multi-channel USB 2.0/3.0signal slip rings, they have also developed high-definition video signal, CAN signal, control signal, and fiber optic signal slip rings based on current slip ring technology. These high-precision conducting slip rings are technically advanced products, with optoelectronic integrated conducting slip rings being the most challenging to develop. JINPAT’s optoelectronic integrated slip rings are the perfect companion for high-speed, lossless signal transmission in precision instruments and high-end automation equipment.

 

Taking the latest developed slip ring model, LPT000-0910-3E3-FO04, as an example, this integrated slip ring features conductivity, multi-channel signal transmission, and integrated fiber opticpaths. It operates at 480V and can transmit 3 sets of gigabit Ethernet signals.Additionally, it integrates four channels of fiber optics with a wavelength range between 1310nm and 1590nm, an insertion loss of less than 4db, and a fiber bending radius of 30mm. It also boasts excellent temperature resistance and a robust housing, capable of operating under temperatures ranging from -45℃ to +80℃. The housingis made of aluminum alloy, combining light weight and durability, ensuring reliable long-term operation of the equipment.

 

In comparison, the LPT000-1210-39S-01E3-12FO model has even lower insertion loss and features 12 channels of fiber optic paths with a lifespan exceeding 10 million rotations.It operates under temperatures ranging from -30℃ to +80℃ and offerseasy installation.

 

Within JINPAT’s optoelectronic integrated slip rings, the LPC-1F series finds broader applications, forming an independent product line. This series features compact design, with a diameter of only 24.8mm, significantly saving installation space on terminal platforms.While having a single fiber optic channel, it also integrates 12, 24, 30, and36 channels of current paths. Compared to single-channel fiber optic slip rings, this slip ring not only addresses signal transmission issues but also provides power transmission paths for customers.

 

Moreover, the pricing of this series is almost identical to that of single-channel fiber optic slip rings, making it acost-effective high-precision conducting slip ring. The JINPAT LPC-1F series fiber optic slip rings have a return loss greater than 45db, operating wavelength between 850~1550nm, insertion loss less than 2db with a typical value of 0.5db, and insertion loss variation of +/-0.25db with a typical value of +/-0.15db. Fiber types can be selected as single-mode or multi-mode, and connector types include ST/FC/SC/LC, among others.

Slip rings for operation in extreme environments

Many electromechanical products have corresponding protection levels, and the higher the protection level, the stronger the environmental adaptability. In the product series of JINPAT, there are also products with the highest IP68 protection level. These products include some customized miniature capsule slip rings and certain models of fiber optic slip rings. These high-protection-level slip rings can adapt to relatively extreme and harsh external environments,such as underwater high-pressure environments, high cold environments, tropical rainforest humid environments, etc.

 

Natural environments exist objectively, and in people’s production and life, they will always create some new environments. Some of these artificially created new environments may be much more extreme than harsh environments under natural conditions. However, in these artificially created extremely harsh environments, there are still electromechanical devices that require slip ring support in operation.

 

Firstly,there is high temperature. A common type of equipment is high-temperature rollers, which operate at temperatures above 100℃. Although such equipment does not have high rotational speeds and does not require changes in slip ring structure, it extremely tests the stability of slip ring operation at ultra-high temperatures. If the overall high-temperature resistance performance of the slip ring is not up to standard, it may lead to problems such as low insulation with stand voltage strength, abnormal fluctuation of dynamic resistance values, and abnormal signal transmission. In solving problems such as abnormal signal transmission and insufficient insulation withstand voltage strength of slip rings operating at temperatures above 100℃, JINPAT has rich experience. Taking the LPC-0303-HD01 high-definition video slip ring as an example, when this slip ring operates, it is immersed in 201 methyl silicone oil with a pressure of up to 140 MPa, and the maximum external ambient temperature can reach 200℃.With years of experience, JINPAT has perfectly solved the problems of poorhigh-definition video transmission and insulation withstand voltage values of this product under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

 

The slip rings mentioned above need to operate at extremely high temperatures, but some slip rings represent another extreme, being extremely sensitive to high temperatures. Once a certain temperature is exceeded, the performance of the slip ring will also decline linearly. These types of slip rings are generally mainly high-speed slip rings. In general, slip rings with a working speed of 20,000 rpm require certain heat dissipation measures, while slip rings with higher speeds will adopt more aggressive heat dissipation measures, such as using liquid nitrogen at -195.8℃ to cool the slip rings. Due to their extremely special purposes and very small market demand, the development technology of slip rings that can withstand temperatures close to minus 200℃ is currently blank, and there are no slip ring manufacturers with development plans or finished products.

Different Wire Types Corresponding to JINPAT Signal Slip Rings

Signal slip rings are a crucial category within slip rings, responsible for the 360° rotation transmission of signals in electromechanical systems. If classified simply by signal type, signal slip rings on the market are essentially divided into electrical signal slip rings and optical signal slip rings. The former transmit electric current using various types of conductors, and the types of conductors used vary greatly depending on the signal type. The latter transmit light in special frequency bands, using optical fibers as the transmission medium, hence optical signal slip rings are also known as fiber optic slip rings.

 

From the perspective of development difficulty, multi-channel fiber optic slip rings are the most technically advanced products among all signal slip rings. The technical challenge of multi-channel fiber optic slip rings, particularly single-mode fiber optic slip rings, lies in the internal prism or other lens systems. From an optical perspective, multi-channel fiber optic slip rings belong to a highly precise optical system. On the other hand, traditional electrical signal slip rings fall within the realm of electrical engineering. In contrast to the two types of wires used in fiber optic slip rings, traditional electrical signal slip rings involve a wide variety of wire types for transmitting numerous electrical signals.

 

Taking common signals in the electromechanical industry such as USB, DP, HDMI, and Ethernet as examples,each of these signals requires corresponding wires. JINPAT has also developed signal slip rings specifically for such signals, such as DP slip rings,multi-channel USB 2.0 signal slip rings, and gigabit Ethernet slip rings.Although the wires used in these electrical signal slip rings are specialized,fundamentally, they are achieved through the use of different common conductors twisted together and then externally connected to specialized connectors.Therefore, in the field of signal slip rings, twisted pair cables are the most widely used method for signal transmission. Apart from twisted pair cables,another common type of wire in electrical signal slip rings is coaxial cables,which consist of inner and outer layers and are available in two characteristic impedance classes of 50 and 75 ohms. These are respectively used for transmitting radio frequency signals and high-definition video signals.

The Precision Characteristics of JINPAT Fiber Optic Slip Rings

Precision conductive slip rings can be classified into many types, with different manufacturers having different standards and definitions. However, generally speaking, the classification methods are mostly similar. Firstly, they can be categorized based on structure. This type of precision slip ring generally refers to conductive slip rings with high internal space utilization and very small volume, such as the LPMS series slip rings from JINPAT. Another category is the technically intensive precision slip rings, which include fiber optic slip rings,high-frequency slip rings, etc., and are included due to their high development difficulty. Then, they can also be classified based on the functions of the slip rings. This type of precision slip ring not only has the ability to transmit power but also has one or more functions such as gas, liquid, orsignal transmission.

 

As a professional and veteran slip ring manufacturer, JINPAT has been in the industry for nearly 30 years. As early as 2002, they established their own technology research and development center,placing great emphasis on cultivating independent research and development capabilities. They are also very skilled in the development of precision slip rings. Regarding fiber optic slip rings, which have very high technical content and excellent application prospects, JINPAT started its independent research and development early. In 2009, JINPAT successfully developed fiber optic slip rings with independent intellectual property rights.

 

As one type of precision slip ring, fiber optic slip rings have their own uniqueness. Firstly, fiber optic slip rings do not transmit electricity, gas, liquids, or other media; they only transmit light. For example, among the seven colors of light commonly seen in daily life—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—some of the light can be transmitted through fiber optic slip rings at the corresponding operating wavelengths. JINPAT’ developed fiber optic slip rings use single-mode or multi-mode fibers, covering a wavelength range from 650nm to 1650nm,corresponding to visible light and near-infrared light.

 

Since fiber optics are transmitted, fiber optic slip rings do not require electronic components but only optical components. Because these optical components need to be optically coupled with single-mode fibers with core diameters as small as 9 or 10 micrometers and multi-mode fibers with core diameters of 50 or 62.5 micrometers, the volume is extremely small, requiring extremely high installation accuracy. This makes the manufacturing and processing of fiber optic slip rings very difficult, which is also the main reason for the high precision of fiber optic slip rings. Due to the high difficulty in internal component processing and the extremely high requirements for manufacturing precision technology, there are not many slip ring companies like JINPAT that can independently develop and manufacture fiber optic slip rings.

Brief Description Of The Advantages Of JINPAT High-current Slip Rings

A high-current slip ring refers to a slip ring that transmits a rated current of ≥100A/ring, typically used in high-power equipment in industrial applications. The current-carrying capacity of these slip ring devices may be larger, and specific specifications and performance parameters are usually customized based on customer requirements and application scenarios.

JINPAT, as an experienced and well-established slip ring manufacturer with nearly 30 years of research and development, excels in the current-carrying capacity of its high-current slip rings. In fact, JINPAT’s high-current slip rings can handle a maximum current load of up to 4000A per channel, and theoretically, it can even reach 6000A per channel based on engineering achievements. Most of JINPAT’s high-current slip rings are customized products based on customer needs. Compared to ordinary high-current slip rings, customized products have stricter requirements for production and research and development, resulting in more powerful performance.

In high-current slip rings, the temperature rise data of each connection point inside the slip ring is crucial for the slip ring’s lifespan and quality. Therefore, JINPAT’s high-current slip rings have a significant advantage in terms of performance, thanks to three strict requirements for slip ring temperature rise testing: first, the slip ring is in a stationary rotating state; second, the current is applied for 2 hours as specified in the wiring diagram; third, the temperature rise of each contact point is ≤70K (ambient temperature ≤35℃).

Static temperature rise testing is the most direct means to inspect the performance of high-current slip rings, providing a quick reflection of the slip ring’s fundamental and essential performance.

JINPAT new large integrated signal through-hole slip ring

In the rapidly advancing world of technology, JINPAT has recently launched a groundbreaking product ,the large integrated through-hole slip ring. The technology used in this slip ring has made significant breakthroughs in terms of size, production, and signal transmission, quickly becoming the new focus in the slip ring manufacturing industry.

The primary feature of JINPAT’s new slip ring is its enormous through-hole diameter, reaching 440mm. The development of large-sized models posed a series of technical challenges. Firstly, the increase in size of the copper ring and insulation pieces used for internal gigabit network signals could lead to deformation during the production process. To address this issue, JINPAT has employed advanced processes and materials,successfully handling the production pressure associated with large sizes to ensure product quality and stability. Secondly, the production difficulties and machining challenges brought about by the oversized slip ring size were also significant obstacles in its development. JINPAT successfully tackled these challenges by introducing advanced production processes and equipment,providing customers with high-quality and efficient products.

The installation of large slip rings has always been a concern in the slip ring industry. However, JINPAT fully considered this issue during the design phase. Through innovative design and engineering solutions, the installation challenges of this slip ring were successfully resolved, enabling customers to install equipment more conveniently. In addition, the large size posed challenges for signal transmission, especially for gigabit network signals. JINPAT overcame the difficulties in signal transmission through carefully designed wiring and bridging operations, ensuring stable signal transmission. To meet even stricter requirements, subsequent tests were conducted even in low-temperature conditions as low as -40°C, ensuring excellent performance of the slip ring invarious extreme environments.

The through-hole slip ring technology developed by JINPAT not only represents a remarkable technological breakthrough but also sets a new industry benchmark. On the path of continuous pursuit of excellence, JINPAT, with its professional technical strength and relentless spirit of innovation, has provided customers with more reliable, efficient, and adaptable slip ring products. JINPAT always believes that this technological breakthrough will continue to earn more honors for the company in future development and open a new chapter for the slip ring industry.

Integrated Ethernet signal slip rings for high-speed data transmission

With the development of mechatronics,computer signals have been widely used in slip rings. As an internationally renowned slip ring manufacturer, JINPAT has high technical expertise in the field of slip rings for computer signal integration. The company has developed over a thousand models of computer signal integrated products, including slip rings that integrate high-definition video signals such as DP and HDMI, as well as slip rings that integrate high-speed data signals such as USB 2.0/3.0 and100M/1G Ethernet.

Among these slip rings, the production and application of slip rings that integrate high-definition video signals such as DP and HDMI are relatively less, and the production of products that integrate USB 3.0 signals is also relatively limited due to the large diameter limitation of the slip rings. USB 2.0 is more widely used for transmission in slip rings due to its more relaxed environment requirements. Similarly, Ethernet signals,which are composed of different twisted pairs, have better adapt ability in slip rings than the above three signals, so their product models and production are the most in JINPAT computer signal integrated slip rings.

First of all, in terms of the volume of slip rings, USB, DP, and HDMI signals can only be transmitted in small-sized capsule or pancake slip rings, while Ethernet signal integrated slip rings support transmission in hollow axis slip rings with a maximum diameter of 300mm. This is JINPAT technical capability. Currently, many slip ring manufacturers cannot develop Ethernet signal integrated slip rings with such a large aperture.

The impedance matching of 1G Ethernet is more complicated, so its applicable transmission aperture is slightly smaller. JINPAT products can support transmission in slip rings with through holes within160mm, which is also a leading technology in the industry. Currently, JINPAT has developed multiple types of 300mm through-hole 100M Ethernet signal integrated slip rings and multiple types of medium and large aperture 1G Ethernet signal slip rings between 100mm and 160mm, which are also in mass production and delivery.

The research and development difficulty of slip rings that integrate Ethernet signals lies in the control of packet loss rate. JINPAT has already achieved the goal of super low packet loss rate with a packet loss rate of 1 for multiple signal packets in mass-produced products. In addition to the super low packet loss rate, JINPAT Ethernet signal integrated slip rings also support up to four products to be connected in series simultaneously,which is a technological capability that many other slip ring manufacturers cannot achieve.

JINPAT Launches New Slip Ring for Search Boats

Search boats typically refer to vessels specifically designed for search and rescue missions. They generally possess high maneuverability and flexibility to respond rapidly in emergency situations. Some search boats may require slip rings in their design,especially when these devices need to rotate in all directions or cover a wide range. Slip rings ensure that cables do not get tangled during rotation,maintaining continuous power and signal transmission.

 

The latest slip ring developed by JINPAT for search boats offers effective equipment solutions for customers. This slip ring is integrated with multiple channels and various signal types. The multiple channels of the slip ring mean that it can simultaneously transmit multiple signals, crucial for handling different types of data and signals on search boats, including stable transmission of power, gigabit Ethernet, HD video signals, and other high-frequency signals.

 

JINPAT has designed this slip ring specifically for search boats to ensure that the equipment can operate normally in damp environments without being damaged by humidity. The slip ring requires the environmental humidity to be no more than 75% RH. However, for slip ring products with a working humidity ≤75% RH, using them in higher humidity environments may result in decreased performance or failure. Therefore, during the installation and operation of the slip ring,customers typically need to adhere to the humidity limits provided by the manufacturer to ensure product reliability and extend its lifespan.

 

JINPAT has also taken into consideration that the slip rings used on search boats need to withstand the high and low-temperature conditions that may occur in the marine environment. The product has undergone temperature performance testing to ensure normal operation in extreme conditions of low (-15°C) and high (60°C) temperatures,unaffected by temperature fluctuations.
