How Slip Rings Power Modern Medical Devices

In CT scanners, slip rings face unique challenges. They must maintain stable connections while rotating at 300 revolutions per minute – equivalent to a contact surface speed of 20 meters per second. JINPAT’s LPKS820 series meets these demands through a separated carbon brush design that requires zero maintenance between 100,000 scan cycles. A notable example is the LPKS820-0315 model, which reduces CT image artifacts by consistently delivering 15 amps of power without interference.

Beyond advanced imaging, slip rings also enhance everyday medical equipment. Beauty devices like laser therapy machines and physiotherapy beds benefit from JINPAT’s LPC-04 capsule slip rings. These cost-effective solutions provide IP54-rated protection against dust and moisture while lasting over 1 million rotations, typically paying for themselves within six months of clinical use.

Surgical lighting systems present another critical application. Modern operating room lights require 360-degree rotation without tangled wires. JINPAT addresses this through two innovative designs: plug-and-play modules that withstand 200,000 connection cycles (equivalent to a decade of hospital use) and modular systems that combine 30-amp power circuits with low-loss fiber optic signals. These solutions have been shown to reduce installation time by 70% compared to traditional wiring methods.
