Electrical slip rings can be purchased from a number of online sources. Some of these stores, include Mercotac (www.mercotac.com) and Lucas Alternator slip rings (at www.tradekey.com).
Slip rings are used in AC while split rings are used in DC generators
To facilitate the conveyance of electrical current and/or signals between the static and rotating parts of a device.
Slip rings offer a means of connecting a rotating winding to an external circuit. Slip rings are used when an a.c. output is desired.
If slip rings are used, a dc field current fed to the rotor through the slip rings causes a magnetic field that rotates with the rotor. This is used in synchronous motors and also in alternators in cars and power plants. In a car alternator the dc current supplied to the rotor is used to control the votage generated in the stator, which is connected through diodes directly to the battery.
Split rings are in AC generators ( alternating current) while slip rings are in DC current (direct current).
Slip rings are needed to connect a rotating armature to external fixed circuits.
slip ring is connect on shaft of motor to collect current from commutator without any complicate connection and with use of it resistors can be insert in circuit and therefore speed control of motor can easily achive
Electrical slip rings are available from Sibley.com and Mercotac.com. You can also find them at local electrical supply stores.
The purpose of an Alternator is to periodically recharge the battery while the engine is on.
The purpose of a slip roll is for one to taste better food by making a slip roll. In addition, a slip roll has a purpose of allowing one to eat more comfortably.
Most likely the brushes have worn down to the point to where they no longer make electrical contact with the slip rings of the rotor. If a Nippondenso alternator, remove the sheetmetal cover, the brush holder is a white plastic block secured by two screws. Remove the holder, unsolder the brush wires (the brushes themselves are carbon/copper blocks). Solder in the leads of the new brushes , allowing enough slack so that the brushes can make contact to the slip rings. Do not forget the brush springs; they slip over the leads and push the brushes against the slip rings. Other less frequent alternator troubles include defective voltage regulator module, defective rectifier assembly, bad diode trio, worn bearings, worn slip rings(very deeply grooved from brushes), short circuited turns in armature or field windings, corrosion of stator core causing swelling with cracking of alternator housing or collapse of stator so that it strikes the rotor. However, by far the most frequent alternator malady is worn brushes. A set costs about $5 at the auto parts store. Drew
