SYSTEMES ET METHODES DE MISE EN PLACE DE JOINT ROTATIF ELECTRIQUE DANS UN SYSTEME A GRAND DIAMETRE AU MOYEN DE BAGUES COLLECTRICES A CAPSULE DE PETIT DIAMETRE
A system for implementing an electrical rotary joint in a large-diametersystemusing relatively small-diameter capsule slip rings is described herein. Thesystemincludes a system rotor that rotates about a system axis of rotation, and asystem statorthat is stationary with respect to the system rotor. The system also includesat least oneconductive contact channel disposed on one of the system rotor and the systemstator.The system further includes at least one capsule slip ring (CSR) coupled tothe other ofthe system rotor and the system stator. The at least one CSR has a conductiveannularelement coupled thereto, the conductive annular element in mechanical contactwith theat least one conductive contact channel such that the at least one CSR formsan electricalrotary joint between the system rotor and the system stator.
