Hollow-Type Integrated Assembly Design and Performance Validation of Conductive Slip Rings via Simulation-Driven Optimization

Conductive slip rings (CSRs) are precision components critical to industrial equipment, yet they face challenges such as unstable signal transmission, limited functionality, and difficulties in operational monitoring due to assembly-induced inaccuracies. This study proposes a hollow-type integrated...

description Conductive slip rings (CSRs) are precision components critical to industrial equipment, yet they face challenges such as unstable signal transmission, limited functionality, and difficulties in operational monitoring due to assembly-induced inaccuracies. This study proposes a hollow-type integrated assembly solution, incorporating optimized transmission, clamping, and protection modules through structural design and modular analysis. Static and dynamic simulations identify the optimal assembly angle and connector configuration (hollow-type outperforming flange-type), ensuring reliability and stability. A high-precision universal assembly platform is designed, and an R-axis rotary table-based testing method is developed to evaluate transmission and fixation modes. Results demonstrate the superiority of sleeve couplings and hollow connectors, with the assembled system achieving contact resistance fluctuations below 10 mΩ, angular repeatability under 500″, and accuracy within 720″, meeting all design specifications. The proposed framework combines simulation-driven design with experimental validation, offering a robust approach to enhance the performance of CSRs in industrial applications.
