How a slip ring works

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 (1) holding the center core stationary while the brushes and housing rotate around it, or (2) 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.
