Figure 31: Slip Ring
Slip-ring
The slip-ring assembly, illustrated in figure 31, provides the means of
transferring the cone power and data from the revolving thruster to the
stationary base and electronics pod. The slip ring is fitted to the central drive
shaft by four cap-head bolts. It is oil filled to enable pressurisation, with the
pressure compensator mounted on the front support pedestal and a hydraulic
hose connecting the two items.
