3217988004, 3217 9880 04 SLIP RING ATLAS COPCO

If you’re rebuilding an electrical transfer path inside an underground drilling rig, 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco is the type of component that quietly decides whether the machine runs cleanly—or starts “mysteriously” tripping, heating, or eating brushes. This part is commonly listed as a slip ring / collector ring and is also referenced in parts catalog context alongside brush-holder related items.

From the photos, this 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco appears as a precision-machined ring with a copper/brass-toned body, multi-groove outer profile, and bolt/locating holes—built to sit concentric, stay stable under vibration, and keep contact consistent over long duty cycles in abrasive, high-moisture rock drilling environments.

As 3GEN Export, we supply this part as an OEM supplier and ship worldwide in 5 working days—so you can keep uptime predictable and avoid costly idle shifts.

What the 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco actually does

A slip ring (often called a collector ring) enables electrical continuity between a stationary circuit and a rotating or moving assembly. In heavy machinery and underground drill rigs, that usually means:

• Feeding current to a rotating element

• Transferring signal power for sensors/controls where motion is constant

• Maintaining stable contact without twisting cables or stressing harnesses

In practical terms, 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco helps your machine keep “clean electricity” where it’s needed, even while the mechanism rotates or cycles repeatedly. When the slip ring surface is correct and concentric, brush contact stays stable, heat stays controlled, and electrical noise is reduced.

In addition, the part number 3217 9880 04 appears in catalog context under “Slip ring” / brush-holder related categories, reinforcing its collector-ring function.

If you want, you can share your machine model/serial range and I’ll structure the compatibility section even tighter. For now, the list above reflects what is explicitly shown in the public parts references.

Material and build features you can infer from the images

Even without a factory drawing, the photos reveal several important design cues that matter in field performance.

Copper-alloy contact body

The gold/brass tone suggests a copper-based alloy contact surface—commonly used where you want:

• Stable conductivity

• Predictable wear behavior

• Good thermal response under brush friction

That’s exactly what 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco is built for: a controlled interface that wears gradually, rather than pitting or tearing.

Multi-groove outer profile

Those concentric grooves aren’t decoration. On industrial slip ring geometries, grooves typically help with:

• Locating/centering in a seat

• Managing dust migration

• Increasing surface area for heat shedding

• Supporting consistent fit across thermal cycles

So when you fit 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco into its housing, it’s designed to remain stable even through repeated heat/cool swings.

Precision holes and mounting features

The visible holes and inner reliefs indicate the ring isn’t meant to “float.” It’s meant to be indexed and held in a repeatable orientation. That matters because if a slip ring shifts microscopically, brushes stop tracking correctly—then arcing begins, which accelerates wear and creates carbon dust that spreads into nearby components.

Why slip rings fail in drilling environments (and how this part prevents it)

Underground drilling is brutal on anything electrical. The failure pattern is often a chain reaction:

1. Dust + moisture contaminate the contact zone

2. Brush friction increases

3. Heat rises and the surface oxidizes

4. Arcing begins under load

5. The ring surface pits and the brush face chips

6. Current becomes unstable, and you get intermittent faults

A correctly spec’d 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco helps break that chain by maintaining a consistent contact path and predictable wear surface.

Technical details and specifications (practical, field-relevant)

Because public listings don’t consistently publish full dimensions for this part, the best way to present “specs” for buyers is to focus on what actually matters for fit and performance.

Practical specification set

• Part number: 3217988004

• Alternate format: 3217 9880 04

• Product name / focus keyword: 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco

• Component role: collector ring / slip ring (brush-contact electrical transfer)

• Typical operating environment: vibration, dust, humidity; continuous cyclic duty

Weight (KG)

• Estimated net weight (part only): ~0.45 kg

• Shipping weight varies by packaging and batch

This estimate is based on the visible geometry (ring form, copper-alloy mass, and thickness) rather than a published factory weight. If you need a strict confirmed weight for logistics, tell me your preferred courier packaging standard and I’ll format it as net vs gross.

Where the 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco sits in your system

In most rigs, the slip ring sits in an assembly path where it interfaces with:

• A brush holder or brush set

• A rotating subassembly (or driven shaft)

• A housing that keeps alignment consistent

This is why catalog contexts often place slip rings in the same neighborhood as brush-related items: the ring and brushes are a matched wear pair.

When you replace 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco, it’s best practice to inspect the brush set and contact pressure condition at the same time—because a new ring with worn brushes can still arc, and new brushes on a damaged ring can fail quickly.

Buying guidance: when you should replace this slip ring

Replace 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco when you see any of the following:

• Visible pitting, scoring, or uneven wear track

• Evidence of arcing (dark burn marks or localized “pepper” pitting)

• Rapid brush wear (short brush life compared to normal service intervals)

• Electrical faults that correlate with rotation or cyclic movement

• Excess heat at the contact zone or unusual smell during operation

The key sign is repeatable instability: if the fault shows up at certain positions or during rotation, the contact interface is often involved.

Installation guide for 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco

This is a field-safe, reality-based installation approach. Exact procedures may vary by machine configuration, so treat this as a best-practice workflow.

Preparation and safety

• Lock out and tag out the machine

• Discharge electrical systems where applicable

• Clean the workspace to reduce dust contamination

• Take photos of orientation and cable routing before removal

Removal steps (best practice)

1. Access the slip ring housing area and remove protective covers.

2. Inspect the surrounding area for carbon dust buildup.

3. Mark the ring orientation if the assembly is indexed.

4. Remove fasteners carefully and support the component so it doesn’t drop or chip.

5. Remove the old ring and keep it for comparison (wear pattern tells a story).

Inspection before fitting the new part

Before installing 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco, check:

• Housing seat for burrs or distortion

• Brush holder alignment and spring pressure consistency

• Brush faces: glazing, chipping, uneven wear

• Wiring terminals: heat discoloration or looseness

A clean seat and correct brush alignment are what allow 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco to perform the way it’s designed to.

Installing the new slip ring

1. Clean the mating surfaces with a lint-free method appropriate for electrical components.

2. Fit 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco into the seat without forcing.

3. Ensure the ring sits flush and concentric.

4. Tighten fasteners evenly in a cross pattern to avoid distortion.

5. Re-check alignment, then reassemble covers and guards.

First run after installation

• Start at low load if possible

• Observe for abnormal heat, smell, or noise

• Verify stable electrical readings (where measurable)

• Confirm faults do not repeat under rotation

If the machine is used in very dusty conditions, consider shorter initial inspection intervals after installing 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco—early checks can prevent long downtime later.

Maintenance tips to extend service life

To help 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco last longer in harsh drilling conditions:

• Keep seals and covers intact to reduce dust ingestion

• Inspect brushes regularly and replace them before they reach critical wear

• Avoid contamination from oils or greases unless the system explicitly requires it

• Check for vibration issues that can cause tracking instability

• Don’t ignore heat marks—heat is an early warning

A slip ring rarely “fails instantly.” It deteriorates in patterns. If you monitor those patterns, you save money.

Troubleshooting symptoms linked to slip ring issues

Here are common symptom-to-cause relationships where 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco can be a key suspect.

Intermittent electrical faults during rotation

Likely cause: uneven wear track, pitting, or brush tracking instability.

Excessive brush wear

Likely cause: rough ring surface, contamination, misalignment, or wrong contact pressure.

Heat concentration near the ring interface

Likely cause: high resistance from oxidation, poor contact area, or arcing damage.

Electrical noise or unstable signals

Likely cause: compromised contact surface, carbon dust bridging, or wiring terminal looseness.

Replacing 3217988004 Slip Ring Atlas Copco restores the designed contact interface, but long-term success depends on brush condition and alignment.
