Product catalog summary

Overview

This document provides detailed technical specifications, product listings, and customization options for the MB Series Industrial Bus Slip Rings, specifically the MB380 and MB500 series. These slip rings are designed for high-speed data transmission and power transfer in industrial applications, supporting various industrial bus protocols.

Product Series and Part Number Explanation

The MB Series includes two main product lines:

  • MB380 Series: Slip rings with a bore size of 38.1mm, suitable for shafts up to 38.1mm diameter.
  • MB500 Series: Slip rings with a bore size of 50mm, suitable for shafts up to 50mm diameter.

Each series supports multiple industrial bus protocols such as Profibus, EtherCAT, CANBUS, CANOPEN, DeviceNET, CC-LINK, ProfiNET, and others. Part numbers indicate specific configurations including current ratings, signal types, number of rings, and bus compatibility.

VH (High-End Version)1000 RPM150 Million RevolutionsAluminum Alloy

Electrical Specifications

  • Rated Voltage: 0 to 440 VAC/VDC
  • Insulation Resistance: ≥1000 MΩ at 500 VDC
  • Lead Wire: AWG16# Teflon for power, AWG22# Teflon or bus cable for signal
  • Lead Length: Standard 300mm (adjustable)
  • Insulating Strength: 500 VAC @ 50Hz for 60 seconds
  • Electrical Noise: Less than 0.01 Ω

Mechanical Specifications

  • Operating Humidity: 0 to 85% RH
  • Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
  • Torque: 0.1 N·m plus 0.03 N·m per 6 rings
  • Protection Grade: IP51 standard

Lead Wire Color Coding

The slip rings use a 12-wire color code repeated in groups of six:

  • 1: Black (BLK)
  • 2: Red (RED)
  • 3: Yellow (YEL)
  • 4: Green (GRN)
  • 5: Blue (BLU)
  • 6: White (WHT)
  • 7-12: Repeat colors 1-6 with number code pipe indication

Part Number and Configuration Tables

Extensive tables list part numbers for MB380 and MB500 series with details on the number of power and signal rings, supported bus protocols, and physical lengths in millimeters. Key notes include:

  • Multiple 10A rings can be paralleled to increase current capacity (e.g., 2 rings of 10A in parallel equal 20A).
  • Flexible modular configurations are available on request for power and signal rings.

Customization Options

Special demands can be customized with an extended delivery time of 3 to 15 days and increased cost by 30% to 50%. Customizable features include:

  • Flange size, cable exit direction, and cable length for rotor and stator.
  • Dimensions such as length, height, and outer diameter.
  • Support for up to 200 rings for current or signal.
  • Optional aviation plugs, terminals, and heat-shrink tubes.
  • Hybrid slip rings combining servo control signals, power lines, and encoder lines for brands like Yaskawa, Panasonic, Siemens.
  • Support for mixed high-speed data transmission protocols including Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS485, Profibus, CanBUS, CANOPEN, DeviceNET, CC-LINK, ProfiNET, EtherCAT.
  • Combination of temperature control signals with thermocouple signals.
  • Special environments such as quakeproof, high temperature (up to 500°C), high pressure (up to 110KV), military grade, underwater protection (IP65, IP68), and stainless steel housing.
  • Hybrid pneumatic/hydraulic and electric slip rings.
  • Rotating speeds up to 10,000 RPM and maximum current up to 5000 amperes.

Additional Notes

  • If a bore size smaller than the standard (38.1mm for MB380 or 50mm for MB500) is required, it can be achieved by adding a sleeve inside the bore.

Catalog excerpts

Ethernet slip ring MB380 series-1

Industry Bus Slip Rings (high speed transmission) MB380 series is our standard series integral and precise industry bus slip ring , with bore size 38.1mm (suitable for <=38.1mm), can support Profibus, EtherCAT,CanBUS, CANOPEN, DeviceNET, CC-LINK, ProfiNET, etc. Note: If required through bore<38.1mm,this can be solved by adding a sleeve inside the bore. Note: 1) N channels 10A rings parallel can be used as 1 channel N*10A current. For example: 2 rings 10A parallel could be used as 1 wires 20A 2) Power 10A and signal rings number can be with flexible module configuration on customer's request. Please contact customer service for more various industrial bus configuration.
