31. Slip rings enable the craft to tow without the lines getting wrapped up as a result of rotation of the body.32. Referring to Figure 45, the supply is led to the rotor winding through slip rings , the rotor winding being the primary. 33. Older generators used dynamos and slip rings for DC injection to the rotor, but the moving mechanical contacts were subject to wear. 34. A "'slip ring "'is an electromechanical device that allows the transmission of power and electrical signals from a stationary to a rotating structure. 35. A set of electrical slip ring contacts in the lower base compartment supplies electrical continuity between the fixed base and the movable fuselage. 36. A slip ring can be used within a rotary union to function concurrently with the device, commonly referred to as a rotary joint. 37. On 8 December, the aircraft was damaged by fires in both engine nacelles, caused by a malfunction of the exhaust manifold slip rings . 38. ARINC 818 lends itself to applications that require few conductors ( slip rings , EMI resistance, or long distance transmission ( aerospace, ships ). 39. As it had no slip rings , it was very compact and rugged, but due to the auxiliary air gaps, it had poor efficiency. 40. The slip rings are attached to one part of the machine, and a set of fine metal brushes are attached to the other part.
