  • the slipring module may be preassembled before mounting into a slip-ring hous ing by attaching at least one holder (if only one holder is used) or two holders to the ends of the slip-ring module. Such a preassembled slip-ring module may then be inserted into the housing from one side and along its center axis. This is the same way, as slip-ring modules known from prior art are mounted. If a slip-ring housing is already installed in an application, it may be difficult to access the housing from one side to insert the module along its center axis. Here, the slip- ring module may simply be displaced in a radial direction and the holders may be attached or removed, when they module is in place.
  • the module may be moved laterally (in a radial direction) into its final position and then one or two holders are pushed on the ends of the slipring modules.
  • one or two holders are removed sideward thus releas- ing the module which may be moved out of the housing laterally (in a radial di rection).
  • the at least one holder preferably comprises a plastic material, preferably made from thermosets or thermoplastics. Preferably, it is an injection molded part or a 3D printed part. Alternatively, it may be made of any metal or any other material as long as it provides enough flexibility to the fingers to snap into a groove of the module.
  • the at least one holder has a round outer shape. It may have a free inner bore. This inner bore may be used to guide wires to the module or to insert another rotary joint like another slipring, a RF joint, an optical joint or a media joint.
  • the at least one holder has a bearing seat for a ball bearing. Such a ball bearing may provide a rotatable support within a housing.
  • the at least one sealing ring preferably comprises an elastic material like a polymer or rubber.
  • the at least one sealing ring may be compressed by the holding force generated by the fingers.
  • the at least one sealing ring generates friction between the module and the holder, such that there is no movement and specifically no rotational movement between the at least one holder and the module. This in creases mechanical stability.
  • the sealing ring could also be realized by 3D print- ing a ring shaped or wavy structure into the groove of the module or onto the modules front side.
  • This shaft lock ring may be used to fix the holder and therefore the module as sembly within a slipring housing. Instead of a shaft lock ring also a snap ring could be used.
  • any other spring like a cup spring or+ wave spring could be used as separate part or as printed detail of the module.
  • a preferred embodiment is a contrarotating ribbon spring that locks into catch in case of rotation of the module (either during assembly or during operation). In this case a mechanical stop is of advantage to exactly define the axial position of the module.
  • axial springs are provided at the holder.
  • the axial springs are one part with the body of the holder.
  • springs for example from spring steel may be inserted into gaps of the body of the holder.
  • the axial springs assert a force to the holder in axial direction away from the module body. This helps fixing the fingers in the groove of the module and enhances stability, but allows assembly by firmly pressing the holder on the module in an axial direction.
  • Axial springs may have different shapes.
  • At least one catch (a snap tab , a hurtling nose) is provided for taking up torque, such that the holder cannot rotate relative to the module.
  • Another embodiment relates to a double holder with axial springs.
  • This double holder basically has the same features and function as the holders described above, but they are double sided to connect two slipring modules together.
  • Another embodiment relates to a double slipring module assembly.
  • two modules are connected together by a double holder.
  • the double holder has fin gers on two axially opposing sides and around a common rotation axis. Double holders allow connecting two or more modules together.
  • a double holder may comprise any of the features described herein.
  • At least one end face of the module body has a catch to re ceive counterrotating springs of the at least one holder.
  • a slipring assembly comprising a module assembly which further comprises a slipring module and at least one, preferably two holders.
  • the assembly may fur ther comprise a stationary part holding a first holder by a first bearing and a ro tating part holding a second holder by a second bearing.
  • the slipring holders may be coded by different pilot diameters lathed into the front side to prevent a wrong combination of slipring holder and module or a wrong orientation of the module.
  • the interface between slipring module and slipring holder may have integrated teeth oriented axially or radially to transfer torque or to code different modules (e.g. for data, signal or power transmission) and ensure their correct orientation during assembly.
