The Function of Slip Ring and Brush Block Assemblies Slip ring and brush block assemblies are electromechanical components, providing a method of transmitting electrical signals and power across a rotating interface. Typical applications include radar, sonar, missile guidance and tracking antennas, gryo-rate-tables, centrifuges, industrial and medical equipment, airborne gyrostabilized camera systems, pan and tilt camera systems, manufacturing machinery, and special instrumentation systems, such as strain gauge and thermocouple circuits.

Capabilities

Founded in 1960, Fabricast has extensive experience in slip ring and brush block design and manufacturing. They utilize the latest CNC machinery and CAD/CAM technology to design and manufacture cylindrical slip ring assemblies including self contained and separate rotor & brush block assemblies. Their techniques allow maximum design flexibility coupled with reliability, performance and fast delivery.

Stock Assemblies The complete line of Fabricast's "BEST COST & DELIVERY" slip rings are defined on their Stock Slip Rings website pages. These assemblies are stocked in only the most common configurations. Components are stocked so that optional configurations can be provided with rapid deliveries. On their stock slip ring units, Fabricast utilizes coin silver rings and silver graphite brushes due to their high reliability, long life, and low noise qualities.

Custom Designs

Although Fabricast places considerable emphasis on its line of stock slip rings, there have always been and will continue to be many applications which require custom slip ring assemblies.

Since Fabricast was founded in 1960, a portion of their business has always been the design and manufacture of high quality custom slip ring assemblies. Because many custom slip rings are designed around standard tooling you will find their cost and delivery extremely competitive. They can be contacted by phone, fax, E-mail or by using either of the two forms included in their website (Request for more Information or Slip Ring Specification form).
