MZ086 Series Slip Rings Overview

The MZ086 series comprises rotor flange slip rings with an outer diameter (OD) of 86mm. These slip rings are designed for electrical signal and power transmission in rotating applications, featuring flange end face wiring for the rotor side.

Part Numbering and Variants

The series includes multiple part numbers differentiated by the number of rings, current ratings (5A or 10A), and length specifications. Variants include standard MZ086 and MZ086F series, with the latter having flange side face wiring. The part lists provide detailed configurations with ring counts ranging from 2 to 72 and lengths from approximately 31.6mm to 289.6mm.

Product Quality Levels

Lead Wire Color Coding

Six-wire groups use the colors Black, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, and White. For wires numbered 7-12, the same color sequence repeats with a number code pipe to differentiate.

Notes on Electrical Configuration

• Multiple 10A rings can be connected in parallel to increase current capacity (e.g., two 10A rings in parallel equal 20A).
• 10A power rings and 5A signal rings can be combined freely and customized.

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 supporting servo control signals (Yaskawa, Panasonic, Siemens), power, and encoder lines.
• Support for mixed high-speed data transmission protocols (Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS485, Profibus, CANBUS, CANOPEN, DeviceNET, CC-LINK, ProfiNET, EtherCAT, etc.).
• Combination of temperature control signals with thermocouple signals.
• Special environments such as quakeproof and high temperature.
• Hybrid pneumatic/hydraulic and electric slip rings.
• High temperature tolerance up to 500°C.
• High voltage tolerance up to 110KV.
• Rotating speeds up to 10,000 RPM.
• Maximum current capacity up to 5000 amperes.
• Military-grade options.
• Underwater protection options: IP65 and IP68.
• Optional stainless steel housing.

MZ086F Series Slip Rings

The MZ086F series is similar to the MZ086 but features flange side face wiring for the rotor. Electrical and mechanical specifications are largely the same, with the rated voltage for power lines up to 690VAC/VDC.

Summary of Key Differences

• Rated voltage for power lines increased to 690VAC/VDC.
• Rotor wiring method differs (flange side face wiring).
