Continuous innovation is essential in addressing the growing complexities of modern technology. As part of United Equipment Accessories (UEA), we have seen firsthand how our traditional slip rings have stood the test of time, consistently delivering effective results. Building on this legacy, we’ve embraced a breakthrough solution in the form of Radio Frequency (RF) Slip Rings. Discover the features and benefits of Radio Frequency Slip Rings, focusing on their contactless design and reliability, which represent a major advancement in signal transmission technology.
United Equipment Accessories Radio Frequency Slip Rings employ a revolutionary contactless signal transfer mechanism. Unlike their traditional counterparts, RF slip rings utilize two RF transceivers to transfer signals reliably without any physical contact. This groundbreaking approach ensures a seamless and efficient signal transfer process.
One of the key advantages of RF slip rings is their ability to transfer a wide range of signals, including CAN (Controller Area Network) and different Ethernet protocols, at a maximum speed of 2 Gbps. This versatility allows for the integration of RF slip rings into various applications, facilitating high-speed data transfer with ease.
RF slip rings can be tailored to meet specific IP ratings, including up to IP69. This flexibility makes them the ideal solution for data transfer in hazardous conditions, where protection against dust, water, and other environmental factors is important. The ability to customize IP ratings ensures that RF slip rings can adapt to the unique demands of different industries.
The rigid contactless PCB board-based design of RF slip rings sets them apart as the most reliable solution for transferring customer-specified signals at high or low data rates. Thanks to their contactless design, the performance of RF slip rings remains unaffected throughout the entire operational life of the product. This ensures uninterrupted signal transfer and minimizes downtime.
RF slip rings offer flexibility in design to meet customer specifications. With widths exceeding 0.40 inches or 10mm, these slip rings can be easily incorporated into various setups. Whether it’s a through bore design or fitting/enclosing inside a regular power slip ring, RF slip rings seamlessly integrate into existing systems without compromising functionality or space requirements.
Designed to withstand extreme environments, UEA’s Radio Frequency Slip Rings operate within an impressive temperature range of -40°F to 320°F (-40°C to 160°C). This exceptional capability makes them suitable for deployment in demanding conditions where temperature fluctuations are a challenge. With RF slip rings, businesses can rely on consistent performance regardless of the operating environment.
RF slip rings often feature enclosures made from Nylon 12 Glass fiber, chosen for their weight reduction properties and exceptional durability. This choice of material ensures that the slip rings can withstand the rigors of demanding operating conditions while providing a long-lasting and reliable signal transfer solution.
UEA’s Radio Frequency Slip Rings have brought about a revolution in the field of signal transfer. Their contactless design, versatile signal transfer capabilities, customizable IP ratings, unmatched reliability, and flexible design options make them the ultimate solution for various industries. With a wide operational temperature range and durable enclosure materials, RF slip rings deliver uninterrupted performance even in harsh conditions.
