Sliprings are used to transmit electrical, communication and other signals (liquid, air, video) to application components that are in rotational motion. The main task of sliprings is to reduce the mechanical stress on the cables to zero and to allow continuous movement of the rotating part of the machine without the need to return to the starting position.
Sliprings are available in different configurations depending on the type of application and range from very compact models with an outer diameter of 12.4 mm to units with a 100 mm through-hole. Heavy-duty steel versions are available or IP65 rated to withstand water and potentially aggressive liquids.
