As a component capable of 360-degree rotation and signal transmission, slip rings are widely used in various industrial electromechanical equipment and high-end consumer electronic products representing advanced human technology. In the aerospace field, there are also many devices that require slip ring support. The most common of these are automated machines and industrial robots in the manufacturing process of various aircraft components, as well as in some aerospace engine testing and product operation simulation equipment.

In addition to the large amount of high-precision and advanced equipment, there is another crucial factor in the aerospace industry: pilots and astronauts. To ensure their physical health, aerospace engineers have invented a variety of medical simulation equipment, many of which also incorporate contact rings. As a world-renowned slip ring manufacturer, JINPAThas developed many enclosures for electro-mechanical equipment in the aerospace industry, and is also able to supply specialized slip rings for medical simulation equipment in this field.

Take, for example, a manned rotary platform used for aviation medical training. Its design is similar to that of many three-axis test platforms, except that it must support the weight of the pilot, so its volume is much greater than that of a three-axis platform used to test some electromechanical equipment. With respect to the use of slip rings, the product used in this way, the three-axis platform, is relatively simpler than that used in test platforms. This platform only needs to transmit trainee health information such as heartbeat and electrocardiogram, and no more than one group of switching signals is added so that the pilot can stop the platform in case of an emergency during pilot training.

JINPAT has developed many specialized slip rings for this type of multi-axis platform, including a unique technology that JINPAT pioneered among industrial manufacturers: the use of multiple slip rings integrated with Ethernet in series, which can ensure extremely low signal loss even after multiple Ethernet integrations. While the functions integrated into a manned rotary platform used for aviation medicine training are relatively simple, it is also practical to use slip rings integrated with Ethernet signals to transmit signals generated by the payload axis system, since the monitoring terminals for this type of equipment are modern computers.
