5 reasons to use contactless slip rings
PowerbyProxi, developers of high-efficiency, industrial wireless power solutions, have introduced alternative power technologies that reduce or avoid the problems of brush slip ring designs. The company’s contactless slip rings transmit power and data between stationary and rotating frames without the use of conventional slip rings or brushes. In these devices, there is no physical contact [...]
New Solutions to Address Failures in Wired Electrical Connectors and Slip Rings in Rotating Devices
Evaluation kits now available to test solutions to reduce operations and maintenance costs from electrical failure
CINCINNATI – November 18, 2010 – Industrial designers, engineers and manufacturers in industries that employ machinery with rotating parts such as wind turbines, radar and heavy machinery now have a new way to avoid critical downtime that occurs [...]
Battery Recharging without Power Connectors
The value of technology declines sharply when its usage is limited by location. One of the most restrictive factors is access to power.
When devices are used in an environment unfriendly to electrical applications or a hard-to-reach location, even the most innovative technologies lose their relevance if they don’t have the appropriate amount of power. In [...]
North American Clean Energy: Wireless Power for Wind Turbines
The trend toward larger wind turbines, increasingly isolated installations and continued use of operate-until-failure maintenance practices drives down reliability and increases the total cost of energy (COE) of wind power operations.
As a result, wind turbine OEMs continue to search for innovative wind turbine designs with improved performance and lower COE. And, wind turbine project operators [...]
