There are many types of fire engine. According to the medium and function, they can be categorized into water tank fire engine, foam fire engine, dry-powder fire engine and ladder fine engine, etc. And on a fire engine, an electrical slip ring is a key component. JINPAT Electronics, as a historical slip ring manufacturer has developed dozens of slip rings for fire engines.

JINPAT Through Bore Fire Engine Slip Rings are mostly installed on the fire engines with a ladder. The hollow shaft design facilitates the installation of pipes in different size. Since this kind of fire engine needs to transmit a massive amount of foam or water, the pipes tend to be with big diameter. And to integrate such pipelines, the diameter of a JINPAT through bore slip rings for fire engine is over 120mm.

Now let’s look into some customer case by JINPAT Electronics. LPTS120-0330-0402-14S and LPTS120-0230-16S are two good examples. Meantime, these two through bore fire engine slip rings have the largest annual production among all models for fine engine. Since the system of a fine engine only supports 24VAC, the power channel and signal channel also share the same working voltage. And such working voltage is a shared common point among slip rings for vehicles.

As for slip ring with the largest bore diameter, LPTS175-0440-14S-E2 is a typical model. The bore diameter is 180mm. Different from the model with a 120mm central hole, such integrated slip ring loads larger current with 1 extra channel. Generally speaking, fire engine slip ring integrates CAN signal, RS signal and video signal in the signal module. And such feature calls for different type of cables. For CAN signals, there are CAN cables. In terms of power and other signals, FLRY-B cables are preferred. And coaxial cables are adopted for video signal transmission.

JINPAT Electronics has embarked the journey of independent with the models of capsules slip rings. Capsule slip rings the initial products of JINPAT Electronics and have been improved and updated along with the company. Most of the case, only a few adjustments are made on the JINPAT capsule slip rings. However, the whole series has gone through a full-round upgrade. The salient change is the black-color housing is substituted by peacock-blue one.

Besides, the slip rings models are given new coding. Take the original 18 channel standard capsule slip ring for example. The new sub-models are coded using the 26 alphabets. The brand new series remain the abbreviation of the slip ring category and the channel number. The latter two letter are decided according to the flange and sleeve buckle of the slip rings. For instance, LPC-18YB is a capsule slip ring with 18 channels without a tail buckle while LPC-18YJ is with metal tail sleeve. Similarly, LPC-18YU is a model without a flange while LPC-18YT is one with through-bore design.

Such logic of coding is extended to both the Medium Size LPC Capsule Slip Rings and the LPM Miniature Slip Rings. LPC/M-YD is with reversed tail buckle. LPC/M-YS are high speed and long life span products. And to better satisfy the market needs, JINPAT also develops related slip ring model with high protection grading: LPC-IP54 and LPC-IP65.
