As high-end equipment, warships rely on high-precision conductive slip rings in many aspects to ensure their stable operation under various conditions. Now let’s briefly analyze which high-precision conductive slip rings are used on warships.

First, radar and cell phone antennas have high-precision conductive slip rings. Radar is a target recognition and navigation device used on warships to identify air and sea targets, guide and indicate missiles and naval guns to engage enemy targets and avoid collisions while underway. On the move, it is a satellite communications and navigation device on warships. Whether it is radar or mobile communication, if it has a 360° rotation function, it is necessary to install high-precision conductive slip rings. Of course, some warships also have inertial navigation systems, and some inertial navigation systems also require support for high-precision conductive slip rings. As radio equipment, the high-precision conductive slip rings used in radar and mobile communication antennas are mainly high-frequency power integrated slip rings. Of course, in some smaller navigation radar systems with simpler functions, traditional electrical slip rings are also used to solve signal and power transmission problems to save costs.

Further, a precision conductive slip ring is used for the pod type electric propulsion system. The electric pod type thruster is an important propulsion device on vessels with all-electric propulsion. It utilizes an electric motor that replaces the traditional gearbox and directly drives the propeller, resulting in low noise and space saving. It is also a very promising propulsion technology for the future market. With the abandonment of the gearbox, the speed control has been changed from the traditional mechanical control to a direct signal connection, making a precision conductive slip ring an important connecting device between the propeller and the control center.

As a developer of precision conductive slip ring technology for large pod-type electric motors, JINPAT can develop complex, multi-channel, high-protection, multi-signal, high-power and gas-liquid slip rings. As an example, the JINPAT LPA 000-06200-0618-44S-01A-05L has not only 12 power channels, but also 44 signal channels, 1 air channel and 5 liquid channels. The different signal gas-liquid channels of this type of precision conductive slip ring can be adjusted according to customers’ actual needs, and its power can be customized to different sizes, such as 3MW, 6MW, 7.5MW, etc.
