How are rotating electrical connector mounted?
Rotating electrical connectors are designed for mounting to the end of the rotating axis either in a vertical or horizontal attitude. The mounting method depends upon the rotating electrical model. The larger rotating electrical connectors typically are mounted into a hollow shaft or collar on the end of the rotating device either by the plastic bushing or the body. The rotating electrical connector can be held in place with a setscrew or a slotted clamp system. The smaller rotating electrical connectors plug into the electrical receptacle and use this both as the mounting and electrical connection. These receptacles are knurled and designed to be press fitted into a hole on the end of the rotating device. Eccentricity of the mounting should be less than .005 TIR. The preferable end of the rotating electrical connector to mount is with the body end rotating. Both ends of the rotating electrical connector should not be rigidly mounted; one end needs to float free. If needed, a floating
