Slip Ring Used for CT Scanner to Transmit Image Data From The Rotating X-ray Detector Array to Computer.

 slip ring used for  CT scanner to transmit image data from the rotating x-ray detector array to computer.

In medical filed, there are many types of machineries will use slip rings, such as CT machine and surgical light. Slip ring can rotate 360° continually, slip ring is an electromechanical device that allows the transmission of power and signals from a stationary to a rotating structure.

One of the primary challenges within a CT scanner is the requirement to transmit image data from the rotating x-ray detector array to the stationary data processing computer. In the earliest CT scanners, this data transmission task was accomplished with a slip ring, i.e., sliding electrical contacts. With the ever increasing data speed requirements of multi-slice machines, an alternative method of handling data across the rotating interface is required.


This unit can be used in any electromechanical system that requires unrestrained, intermittent, or continuous rotation while transferring power or data.

The LPT025 provides an economical, readily available solution when a compact through-bore configuration is required. This unit provides a 25.4mm through-bore for routing hydraulic or pneumatic lines and a compact 86mm outside diameter for minimal space applications. The 15 amps per circuit are available in 6, 12, 18 and 24 ring configurations in 4 housing lengths. Similar in design to our very popular LPT025 series, this design features long life, fiber brush contact technology for ultimate performance in many challenging applications. Fiber brushes do not require lubrication and produce virtually no wear debris, for maintenance free, life time operation.
