Engineers choose incremental and absolute encoders to measure shaft rotation in a variety of applications depending on the operating environment, the complexity and magnitude of the rotation, and safety concerns among other considerations.
Heavy equipment used in the construction industry is subject to harsh environments. Slip rings used to carry signals and power to rotating cabs or other rotating platforms need special design considerations for reliable performance.
Selecting the right slip ring can be a challenge. With over 10,000 slip ring designs and 60 years of experience, Moog shares answers to some key questions about using slip rings in your next project.
