[0002] Slip rings are usually used to transmit information on devices that rotate around a rotating point, such as turntables, robotic arms, windmills, and revolving doors. Slip rings provide reliable energy and signal transmission solutions for these electromechanical devices to achieve complex movements. Currently, there are many types of slip rings, which can be divided into electric slip rings, fluid slip rings, smooth slip rings, and photoelectric slip rings. The way they transmit information is to use the sliding or rolling contact of conductive parts, electrostatic coupling, or electromagnetic coupling.
