Slip Ring Maintenance
Lubrication
All bearings are lubricated for life at the factory. Additional lubrication should not be required.
Brush Holders
Make the first inspection shortly after installation and before operation. Make continuing inspections on
a regular basis after every 200-400 hours of operation under normal conditions.
Brush Holders
1. Inspect brush holders for proper alignment. Locate brush holders so that the entire brush contact
surface rides squarely on the ring with the brush moving freely in the brush holder. Position brush
holders so that the brush makes contact with the middle of the conductor and is not offset.
2. Check brush holder clamps for tightness. Set clamp bolts at 10 in-lbs. maximum.
3. Inspect brush terminations at the holder to assure that no external force is imposed on the holder.
We recommend flexible or soft wire leads for these terminations. Use external clamps to support
the entire weight of the leads.
ALWAYS shut down and disconnect the power supply before adjusting, servicing
or cleaning the equipment.
Do not apply any lubricants or solvent cleaning agents to any part of the
slip ring.
