Deublin discusses slip rings


D


of Turnbull & Scott Ltd admits that twelve years ago when a very bright young school leaver he interviewed for a junior accounts role was unsure of taking up a place at University, he didn’t do what others might and persuade her to go for the ‘opportunity of a lifetime’.

Peter, a chartered accountant, and a natural coach knew he could develop her in the accountancy field and over the intervening years has encouraged her to formalise

She has identified that the new graduate apprenticeship programme is the ideal vehicle for her to do this. Stacie explained her interest in this new challenge, “I had been considering re-starting my CIMA studies, but when I received an email regarding a degree in business management I found it more appealing and more relevant to my career goals. I felt like it would be a great opportunity for my own personal development, whilst also benefiting Turnbull & Scott.

How do they work? - Electrical slip rings work by holding a sliding contact (brush) against a ring (conductor ring). One part, typically the brush, is stationary while the other, typically the conductor ring, rotates. Lead wires to the brush and conductor ring terminate internally and provide electrical connections to devices on either side of the slip ring. In general, conductor rings are mounted on the rotor and terminated with lead wires that run axially through the rotor to one end.
