Medical devices have always been representative of high-value products in the medical device industry, especially devices such as CT scanners. Like other industries, medical device manufacturing also relies on the support of numerous downstream industries. JINPAT, as a specialized slip ring manufacturer, is part of the chain of medical equipment manufacturers and is able to supply appropriate slip rings for various medical equipment with different functions.

JINPAT has developed several types of slip rings for medical equipment. In addition to the large slip rings with through holes of over 1200mm in diameter developed for CT scanners, the remaining slip rings are in the medium and small size category. Among these products, the capsule series slip rings are the core, and only a few models are in the hollow shaft series. Whether it is capsule slip rings or hollow shaft slip rings, these products developed for medical equipment are primarily customized models. In order to meet the stability requirements of medical equipment, these slip rings use gold-on-gold contacts and have been optimized for specific performance characteristics.

Some specialized medical equipment with unique functions is built-in centrifuges or other high-speed systems, and the slip rings associated with these components are mainly high-speed products. Since the rotation speed of these components is generally higher than 500 rpm, the standard slip rings have a design speed limit of 300 rpm, which is not enough to meet the requirements. In order to meet the needs of the medical industry and similar fields, JINPAT has developed a series of standard capsule slip rings LPC/LPM-YS. This series of products has a design speed of up to 2000 rpm, which meets the requirements of most medical or other high-end devices on the market.

Compared with the capsule slip ring with an outer diameter of 22 mm, the hollow shaft slip ring has a much larger copper ring diameter, which limits the transmission of some special signals. However, this limitation is not significant in the field of medical equipment, because the most commonly used hollow shaft slip ring has a hole size of 12.7 mm, and common signals in medical instruments such as USB 2.0, Ethernet and pulse signals can be transmitted within this hole size. Hollow shaft slip rings also have the advantage that the center through hole can be used, and after installing the fiber optic slip ring, it can become an optoelectronic integrated slip ring. Many of the slip ring housings developed by JINPAT for medical equipment also have products with integrated single-channel fiber optic slip rings.

With the development of technology, various functional robots have also emerged in the medical care field, such as surgical robots and rehabilitation robots. Many of the slip ring technologies in these medical robots are borrowed from the industrial robot field. As a leading supplier of slip ring technology for industrial robots, JINPAT naturally has the ability to supply slip rings for medical robots. In addition to these two types of robots, there is also a category of medical inspection robots equipped with endoscopes and slip rings. Some of these robots are equipped with endoscope lenses that are designed as fully articulated structures that can rotate 360° for viewing and illumination. The slip rings used in these endoscopes must be the ultra-miniature LPMS slip rings with a diameter of 5.5-6.5 mm supplied by JINPAT.
