WHAT
IS A SLIP RING?
| A slip ring is an electromechanical
device that allows the transmission of power and electrical signals
from a stationary to a rotating structure. Also called a rotary
electrical joint, collector or electric swivel, a slip ring can
be used in any electromechanical system that requires unrestrained,
intermittent or continuous rotation while transmitting power and/or
data. It can improve mechanical performance, simplify system operation
and eliminate damage-prone wires dangling from movable joints. |

We are a designer and manufacturer of
precision slip ring assemblies for use in commercial, industrial, and
military applications. Choose one of our standard production tooled
configurations for rapid delivery and
price savings or let us select from our vast library of slip ring designs
for the assembly that will satisfy your special requirement.
Airflyte slip rings are made in every
configuration; ranging in size from .250 inch diameter capsules to large
military assemblies with through bores in excess of 36 inches. We are
currently in production on a slip ring and brush set, that when assembled,
will fit around an nine foot diameter. Our slip rings have been used
extensively in pan & tilt cameras, radar platforms, tracked vehicles,
rate gyros, down hole equipment, packaging machinery, and in a host
of other applications too numerous to list.
