ByTune through hole slip ring---BTH0318 are one-piece conductive slip rings with a hole in the center, also known as hollow slip rings. These slip rings can be designed to adapt to various hole diameters and are mainly used to transmit precision signals, large currents, and high voltage working environments. They have the characteristics of low torque, low loss, and low electrical noise, which can stably transmit power or signals, cool or air media, optical or RF channels, etc.

Customization
We can customize the number of electrical channels of through-hole slip rings based on application requirements. Through-hole slip rings can also be made with specific materials to meet unique environmental or operating requirements, such as high temperature or corrosive environments.
Compact size
The compact size of BTH0318 through-hole slip rings is suitable for a variety of application scenarios. For example, in the field of aerospace, the equipment on the aircraft has strict restrictions on space and weight. The compact size of through-hole slip rings can meet these requirements and provide reliable signal and energy transmission for rotating parts on the aircraft. At the same time, in some narrow industrial production sites, such as detection equipment inside pipelines, compact through-hole slip rings can also play an important role.
Through hole design
The through hole is usually located in the center of the slip ring, so that when the rotating shaft passes through the through hole, the force on the slip ring is more uniform, reducing wear and failure caused by uneven force. At the same time, the through hole in the center also facilitates the installation and connection of the slip ring with other equipment components, ensuring stable transmission of signals and energy.
