Commutator

  • Also known as “electric swivels” or “slip rings”
  • Opening through the center for tubing from a leash assembly to pass through
  • Designed to be low current, low voltage, low noise, and environmentally safe
  • Tested to levels of 100 V and 0.08 A
  • All single plug commutators are supplied with a live plug (red) and a dummy plug (white) for even rotation of the rotor
  • Electrical signal conduction mechanism consists of brushes and rings
  • Double brushes for unbroken continuity
    • NOTE: single brush can be requested to reduce torque for mice applications
