In wind turbine generator, slip rings are installed on the low-speed shaft of the gearbox to provide power supply, transmitting control signals and communicate functions for the pitch control system.

Main functions and roles of slip ring Assemblies

Slip ring Assemblies play a vital role in wind power generation systems. Their main functions and roles include power and signal transmission, improving system performance, and ensuring safe operation of equipment. These functions ensure the stable and efficient operation of wind power generation systems, which is of great significance for the promotion and application of wind power generation technology.

Main functions and roles

Power and signal transmission: Slip ring fans are responsible for connecting the rotating wind turbines and fixed cables to ensure smooth transmission of power and signals. This is the basis for the normal operation of wind power generation systems.

‌

Improve system performance: The accuracy, reliability and service life of slip rings directly affect the performance of wind power generation systems. Excellent slip rings and their suppliers are a strong guarantee for wind turbine developers to successfully develop and obtain expected returns.

‌

Ensure equipment safety: When the wind turbine is overspeeding, the slip ring, as a carrier of transmission signals, can promptly transmit overspeed signals, stimulate the variable pitch system actuator to quickly retract the blades, protect the wind turbine, and avoid safety hazards. ‌

Technical features

Resistant to low temperature, high humidity, wind and sand. In view of the special application requirements of wind turbine generator systems and the actual use environment, the slip rings are made of precious materials and have good resistance to low temperature, high humidity, wind, sand, corrosion, impact, and vibration.

Stable performance without maintenance: Select precious material, high quality strict technology and precis skill ensuring the long-term stable operation of the wind power generation system.

More application examples

First, in electronic equipment, take surveillance cameras and revolving doors for example, slip rings are used to transmit signals. ‌

Second, In the medical equipment, slip rings on CT machines are used to transmit power and signals.

That’s slip rings play an indispensable role in wind turbine generator systems through their unique design and functions, ensuring the stable operation and safety performance of the system.
