In various activities of marine economic development, ocean engineering ships with various functions always play an important role. As a professional slip ring manufacturing enterprise, JINPAT has nearly 30 years of experience in providing rotating conductive solutions for marine engineering ships.

Regardless of the type of vessel, as long as it has autonomous navigation capability, it usually needs to be equipped with navigation radar, and some even install full motion satellite communication antennas. These common electronic systems rely on slip rings to achieve stable connection and transmission. In addition to integrated slip rings for transmitting weak electrical signals and power, the most common slip rings used on marine engineering ships are specialized slip rings for various marine cranes and winches. This type of slip ring needs to carry a large current and a high operating voltage, and recently, JINPAT has significantly increased its production of this type of marine product.

Taking a rotary pile driver as an example, this type of high rotation pile driver usually requires multiple cranes and pile arm winches to be equipped on the deck. If the crane on the deck does not have rotation limit, slip rings must be installed. JINPAT has provided hundreds of technical solutions to customers for this type of ship deck crane. The recently launched LPA000 series is JINPAT' iconic offshore crane slip ring product exported overseas.

In contrast, JINPAT has developed relatively few high current slip ring models for marine winches, with the most representative products being the LPA350 and LPA340 series. Taking the LPA340 series as an example, this is one of the few large through-hole signal integrated marine winch slip rings. In addition, JINPAT has also developed optoelectronic integrated winch slip rings for special marine winches with working voltages up to 2500V or higher.

In addition to various construction machinery on the upper deck, some ocean engineering vessels are also equipped with pod type electric thrusters to enhance their power positioning capabilities. For example, China's first plug-in self elevating and self-propelled rescue and salvage engineering ship, the "Huaxianglong", was equipped with three pod type electric thrusters and three bow side thrusters, achieving DP2 level offshore dynamic positioning capability. Above these podded electric thrusters, specialized conductive slip rings must be installed, and JINPAT is a professional manufacturer with the ability to independently develop slip rings for podded electric thrusters of 1-15MW level.
