A flat slip ring, also known as a flat slip ring, is a special kind of slip ring. Its friction pair consists of contact lugs and copper rings. Copper rings are stacked concentrically instead of stacking together. The ultra-thinness of the flat slip ring is the result of an exquisite structure. The pancake sliding ring is therefore particularly suitable for electronic devices with limited space in the axial direction. The sliding pancake ring also plays an important role in the military industry. As a professional slip ring manufacturer, JINPAT has developed various kinds of pancake slip rings.

JINPAT flat slip rings are widely applied in radar and satellite communications in motion for vehicle systems and airborne systems. JINPAT’s flat slip ring is very thin and therefore very competitive in applications with limited axial space. Let’s take a look at the following comparison. JINPAT LPT000-0510-E2 is a through-hole slip ring designed for radar system. It has the simplest structure and the least number of channels. It integrates only 5 10A channels, but its height reaches 72.5mm. Compared with such a model, the JINPAT LPK000-0410-08S-E2 flat slip ring is only 36mm high. The height of the pancake ring is reduced by half. And the height of most models of JINPAT pancake rings is about 36mm.

Due to their one-piece design, JINPAT’s sliding pancake rings have a high degree of protection. The LPK000-0410-08 SE2 has an IP65 rating, while the LPK000-0230-10 SE 2 has an IP 64 rating. Due to the relatively high degree of protection, JINPAT pancake rings can work in difficult working conditions. This feature also makes it very suitable for military applications.

JINPAT offers a variety of ready-made slip ring models for different applications. JINPAT also provides customized rotary solutions upon request. You can contact our technical team to design the best slip ring model for you.
