JINPAT Slip Rings for Legged Robots

Legged robots imitate the movements of human or animal legs and therefore can tread on bumpy road and even hazardous environment in a stable way. Legged robots have advantages over robots for their excellent the biomechanical design. And to allow a flexible joint movement while trafficking various sensor signals, electrical slip rings are demanded.

With the help of electrical slip rings and rotary joints, the legged robots can be applied in rescue, mine sweeping and other environments to substitute human labor.

JINPAT Electronics has provided many slip ring solutions for various robot applications. To answer the requirements of a legged robots, JINPAT R&D team also spares no efforts in bringing the best solution. To fit the super compact and light design of the legged robot, JINPAT Electronics recommends the capsule slip ring and miniature slip ring types. JINPAT LPS separate slip ring, without housing and being very space-saving, is also a good choice for such application.

And to be exact, most of the legged robots have strong demand of transmitting optical signals from the optical receiver to the processing sensor. Therefore, an integrated optical slip ring is also preferred. With mixed transmission of power, signals and optical signal, JINPAT slip rings allow the legged robot to attain a smooth and elegant movement while passing the key signals.

And to look at one of our practical case is LPMS-06B-06S. LPMS-06B-06S is a super miniature slip ring with a diameter of only 8.5mm and a length of 14.2mm. There are 4 electrical power channels and 2 analogue signal channels. This super small slip ring fit for legged robots with limited installation space and harsh weight limits. Another mature solution is LPM-30 branch. Slip rings under such coding integrate up to 30 channels and given the relatively big structure, LPM miniature slip ring is able to integrate different type of slip ring like high definition video signals, CAN, USB and GND, etc.
