Case Study: MK7 Generator Slip Rings -Vattenfall & BGB

By developing slip rings in a modular way, they can be disassembled in the opposite order that they were assembled, making all the components accessible for repair and replacement. This means that all the structural and insulative elements can be accessed, inspected, cleaned, and preserved and only the wearing components are changed as required. This reduces the future waste impact that our manufacturing and servicing practices have on the planet and its resources. To ensure that quality is maintained we ensure that everything is tested prior to sending back into service, we use OE parts wherever possible.
