Slip ring - quick question regarding term
Slip ring - quick question regarding term
(OP)
Good morning.
I had a quick question regarding terminology. "Slip ring" is the term for the conductive rings mounted to the rotating assembly, correct? What is the proper term for the stationary ring to which the carbon brushes are attached? Someone mentioned "collector ring" but I think that is a synonym for slip ring.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I'm not aware of a specific name for the stationary ring you refer to but I'm from a turbo-alternator background and the big low-speed salient pole machines are quite different in construction.

Many machines have the brushes supported by rods or bars parallel to the shaft, rather than being supported by annular rings.
