FAQs

Common Custom Slip Ring Questions

How is the UHS-series mounted?

insert text

What is the resistance or noise generated under rotation?

From stationary to the rated maximum speeds, the electrical resistance and noise remains low and stable. The measurable results are typically 0.2mΩ (milliohm) resistance and 25µV/V under all speeds of rotation.

What types of signals and sensors are compatible with the UHS-series?

The UHS Series excels at transferring analog signals. They are compatible with making terminations direct to stationary measuring devices, or data acquisition systems without further processing.
