In defense and military field, some parts of weapons and equipment require 360° rotation to improve operational coverage and flexibility. Slip rings have become essential components to reduce installation space and improve performance and structure.
The slip rings of the military industry have higher and more stringent requirements than the ordinary slip rings. Not only stable performance and long life are required, but also certain special requirements according to different applications, such as high protection level (including underwater use), high and low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, shock resistance, low electrical noise, high isolation Very low loss of information transmission and so on. According to these requirements, gold-to-gold contact process, high-quality stainless steel and parts produced with high precision must be used. Military slip rings often have some characteristics of large conductive slip rings and explosion-proof slip rings.
The common applications include shipborne radar turntables, military armored vehicle rotating turrets, military mixers, military robots, airborne radar turntables/guidance/airborne early warning systems, ship electric propellers, radar guidance, missile launch, defense systems, etc.
Due to the particularity of use and high technical requirements, the design of military slip rings is more complicated. Take the professional radar slip ring as an example: The radar slip ring is generally composed of an electric slip ring and a high-frequency rotary joint. With the complex development of the radar system and the increase in data transmission requirements, the traditional radar slip ring can no longer meet the needs of the system. Optical fiber rotary joints have the advantages of large transmission capacity and good transmission performance, which can make up for the shortcomings of traditional radar slip rings.
3GOTEK design and manufacture radar hybrid slip ring (optical fiber rotary joint + high frequency rotary joint + electric slip ring), which can well meet the needs of the new radar system. Through years of experience accumulation and practical application testing, we have successfully developed a variety of radar slip ring solutions in the field of radar slip rings, which can meet the various needs of different customers.
