Slip rings can operate in very harsh environments when proper precautions are taken. Slip rings have been installed in turbine exhausts,, under high temperature and high pressure conditions, with great success. When temperature environments are greater than 200° F, the slip ring needs to be protected from these conditions. These may take the form of ventilated/cooled enclosures.

Pressures from vacuum through high pressures can be accommodated. In general, if ambient pressures are outside the range of 12-18 PSIA, special considerations for bearing lubrication and coolant supply pressures must be taken.

Aerodyn Engineering specializes in the integration of our slip ring assemblies into manycomplex test environments. Our decades of experience have allowed us to cover a broad array of custom installations. This experience allows us to work effectively with customers on new applications.
