Are you experiencing problems with your Slip Rings?... Cleaning too much? Waiting on units to arrive? Paying too much for parts? Not adaptable enough? ...

Resulting in... DOWNTIME

The crane and construction industry are heavy users of rotary applications. Typical usage includes the transfer of power, signal and data, monitoring of strain gauge data, wind speed, power to the winch motors and much more.

SAFETY CONCERNS

DELAYS

BGB understands the pain points and market drivers associated with slip rings in the crane industry: > Increase in ports moving towards automation so the demand for information and ROV is higher > Today's on-demand society - The reduction in downtime is vital. Demand for high quality components that are easy to maintain > Modular crane offerings enable: Upgrades, Easy increase in the number of channels for lighting, Sensor and control equipment, Reduced cost across slip ring variances

BGB Design Advantages: Signal and Power channels utilise the same brush and ring interface to: reduce unit cost, reduce temperature and increase transmission safety factor

> Silver brushes that reduce footprinting and burnout on rings

> Lack of time and people to carry out maintenance works

BGB Modular Slip Rings

Case Study:

Challenge:​

Retrofit a slip ring to an OEM’s crane to enable rotation and power during idle wind conditions​

Did You Know? BGB supply a variety of major OEM’s in different industries all over the world, with over 500,000 slip rings (in the last 10 years) working tirelessly in all seven Continents

Solution:​

Work with the customer to capture requirements, engineer and support installation

BGB systems can also include optional features like: Limit Switches, Encoders, Lightning Protection, Fibre Optic Swivels (FORJ) and Hydraulic Joints

BGB slip rings and data transmission systems can be fully customised

for the specific application and tested in our state-of-the-art Test Centre.

Enquiries should include the following information where possible:- > Number of ways required > Load per ring (amps and voltage) or details of signals to be carried by slip rings > Speed of rotation > Mounting flange required and cable gland entry > Ambient working temperature > Cable gland entries required in base > Voltage
