Slip-ring test bench

SOMTECH · Rover arm team · test

A test bench for choosing slip rings for the arm. It measures contact resistance, voltage drop and thermal behavior for candidate conductor materials. I modeled it in SolidWorks.

The bench in SolidWorks from the stepper side. The motor spins the slip ring inside an aluminium-extrusion frame.
