Position sensors

cam switches

• Factory set accuracies of ± 0.5°
• 1, 2, or 3 switches and areas defined using one cam
• Spring loaded cam arms with switch(es) located at bottom of one or both brush stacks

Potentiometers

• 360°continuous rotation
• Infinite position indication
• 2.5K± 10% per quadrant
• 2.5K± 10% between taps @ 180°
• Two taps spaced at 180°± 0.1%
• Linearity of 0.10% max

Encoders

• Absolute or incremental, with various outputs, can be adapted for use with UEA slip rings

custom harnesses with connectors

• UEA slip rings with pre-wired harnesses give you the convenience of faster connections, which save both time and money. UEA will supply the appropriate custom wire harness or jacketed cable, with or without multi-pin connectors to facilitate your installation. Our harnesses are available taped or braided for long-term durability.

pneumatic swivels

• All-brass air swivels with 2 or 4 passages are optional for use with any slip ring, except .500” - 1.00” bore. These are precision engineered and manufactured for air passages, supplementing electrical passages, in the rotating unit.
• Electro-pneumatic swivel assembly with circuit combinations from high power to control. Includes potentiometer position sensor at base of slip ring.
• Pre-wired power and control combination circuits assembly with integral 1/2” pneumatic line. Up to 1.00” air-line available.

fiber Optic rotary joints

• UEA offers a variety of single and multi-channel (up to 16 optical passes) fiber optic rotary joints. Fiber types can be single mode, multi-mode, or mixed. Units can be configured with receptacles or terminated fiber pigtails (most standard connector types available). UEA also offers subsea versions of both single and multi-channel (pressure compensated) models.

Radio Frequency rotary joints

• Radio frequency rotary joints are used to transmit signals between stationary and rotating radar and other rotating systems. RF rotary joints can be integrated into your custom slip ring to meet your application requirements.
