191417 - Miller Double Slip Ring Assembly for Generators

Restore Generator Performance with the Miller 191417 Collector Ring Assembly

The Miller 191417 Ring Assembly, Collector (Double) is a critical internal component designed for specific Miller engine-driven welders and generators. In the world of power generation, the collector ring (or slip ring) acts as the bridge between the stationary and rotating components of your machine's generator assembly. It allows for the continuous transfer of electrical current to the rotor field, which is essential for producing the welding output and auxiliary power you rely on.

Over time, collector rings can develop grooves, pitting, or uneven surfaces due to friction from the brushes and electrical arcing. This wear can lead to unstable arc performance, fluctuating auxiliary power, or a complete loss of output. Replacing a worn assembly with this genuine Miller part ensures that your machine operates at peak efficiency. The double ring configuration is engineered to handle the specific current loads of Miller equipment, providing a smooth surface for brushes to ride on, which minimizes electrical noise and heat buildup.

Why Choose Genuine Miller Repair Parts?

When repairing complex industrial equipment like a welder-generator, precision is key. The Miller 191417 is manufactured to exact factory specifications. This means the diameter, width, and insulation properties are perfectly matched to your machine's requirements. Aftermarket alternatives may lack the material quality or dimensional accuracy needed, leading to rapid brush wear or potential damage to the rotor shaft. By choosing this OEM part, you are investing in the longevity of your equipment and ensuring that your welder is ready to perform in demanding industrial environments.

This assembly is typically located on the rotor shaft and works in conjunction with the brush holder assembly. If you are servicing your generator due to output issues, it is highly recommended to inspect the brushes simultaneously, as worn rings often accelerate brush deterioration. Ensure your serial number matches the compatibility list for this part to guarantee a successful repair.
