Slip Ring Assemblies
|
The main function of slip ring assemblies are to transfer electrical power and electrical signals from stationary to rotating platforms.
M-TEK specialises in the design and production of compact, instrumentation slip ring assemblies designed for AC and DC current, digital data, control signals and video signals. It is M-TEK’s main objective to provide customised slip ring solutions which are addressing specific customer requirements, cost effectively.
M-TEK’s slip ring technology is based on gold-on-gold contacts which is implemented by utilising closely spaced gold alloy wire brushes, sliding into closely spaced hard gold-plated V-grooved rings, which provide low electrical noise levels and also provide exceptional compactness. For high power applications, sliding carbon brushes on copper alloy rings, are utilised.
A wide variety of slip ring assemblies are produced, for applications including periscopes, sighting systems, ariel observation platforms, optronic and radar positioners, winch reels, cranes, robotics, etc.

Hand Controllers & Joysticks
|
|
Hand controllers & joysticks are utilised as man-machine-interfaces mainly on tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery turrets. They are also used with optical and radar tracking systems.

Positioners & Actuators
|
|
M-TEK positioners are mainly used for accurate positioning of optronic observation equipment and/or radar antennas for applications on land, sea and air platforms. The actuators may be direct-drive or geared (using anti-backlash gearboxes), and usually make use of permanent magnet, brushless DC torque motors. Resolvers are normally used as feedback sensors. The addition of slip rings will provide unlimited rotation. Power supplies, servo drives and controllers are enclosed in sealed enclosures located either externally, or on the positioners.
