AC6429
1-3/8 inch through-bore in 48, 2 amp circuits and 6 or 12, 10 amp circuits
A slip ring capsule can be used in any electromechanical system that requires unrestrained, intermittent, or continuous rotation while transferring power and / or data. A slip ring is also called a rotary electrical joint, collector, commutator, or swivel. A slip ring can improve system performance by simplifying operations and eliminating damage prone wires.
The AC6428 and AC6429 provide an economical, readily available solution when a compact, through bore configuration is required. This unit provides a 1-3/8 inch through bore for routing of hydraulic or pneumatic lines, and a compact 3.9 inch outside diameter for minimal space applications. The AC6428 provides 2 amp circuits in 60, 72, 84 and 96 ring configurations. The AC6429 provides 48, 2 amp rings coupled with either 6 or 12, 10 amp circuits. Similar in design to our very popular AC4598 and AC6200 series, this design features long life, fiber brush contact technology for ultimate performance in many challenging applications.
