These 6 wire and 12 wire slip rings are simple electromechanical devices that allow the transmission of power and electrical signals from a stationary to a rotating structure. A slip ring can be used in any electromechanical system that requires rotation while transmitting power or signals. It can improve mechanical performance, simplify system operation and eliminate damage-prone wires dangling from movable joints. Commonly, youd find slip rings in wind turbines, robotics, wheel encoders, or anything else that requires continuous 360° rotation, while maintaining an electrical connection. With a slip ring assembly, your electronics can now twist and turn safely. This particular slip ring provides you with a compact body with gold-on-gold alloy fiber brush to plated ring contacts inside.
