How They Work

A slip ring is a rotary coupling used to transfer electric current from a stationary unit to a rotating unit. This is accomplished by either:

  • Holding the center core stationary while the brushes and housing rotate around it.
  • Holding the brushes and housing stationary while the center core is allowed to rotate

A wide selection of circuitry is available with many combinations of amperage and voltage (AC or DC). The compact design is made possible by brushes stacked on alternating sides.

  • Construction Case Study

    Construction Case Study

    Elliott Equipment, a manufacturer of cranes and related machinery, has been using slip rings from United Equipment Accessories (UEA) in its equipment for 23 years. When UEA started designing and manufacturing hydraulic swivels—a complementary part to the slip ring—in 2012, Elliott Equipment wanted to know more.

  • Irrigation Case Study

    Irrigation Case Study

    Bugs and condensation may be tiny, but they were causing big headaches for Reinke, a manufacturer of center pivot irrigation systems. The two pint-size problems were infiltrating the systems' collector reels, which at the time were made of steel.
