Rotating Electrical Connectors

What is a Rotating Electrical Connector?

A rotating electrical connector, also known as a slip ring or electrical rotary joint, is a device that enables the transfer of electrical signals or power between stationary and rotating components within a system.

It is commonly used in applications where continuous rotation is required, such as wind turbines, radar systems, and industrial machinery. The connector consists of conductive rings and brushes that maintain electrical contact while the components rotate.

This design allows for a smooth and reliable transmission of data or power, minimizing wear and maintaining performance over time. By providing a seamless connection, rotating electrical connectors enable efficient operation and enhanced durability in a wide range of applications.
