Where is the Collector Ring Assembly located on the crane?

The Collector Ring Assembly is located under the hydraulic swivel in the middle of the turntable assembly on a crane. This positioning is crucial because the Collector Ring Assembly facilitates the transmission of electrical signals and power to the crane’s various functions while allowing for the rotation of the turntable. As the crane rotates, the assembly ensures that electrical connections remain intact without twisting or becoming damaged, which is vital for the operational efficiency and safety of the machinery.

Placing the assembly in the middle of the turntable assembly allows it to serve as a central hub for power and signals while also being protected from exposure to external elements that could occur at the base or on the boom itself. This design is key to achieving smooth and safe crane operations, making it a critical component of the crane's overall functionality.
