Reliable Operation in the Field

Heavy machinery and utility equipment operate in environments where dust, debris, vibration, and weather are constant factors. UEA slip rings and rotary unions are engineered with materials and protective sealing to always perform dependably.

 

Common Applications in Heavy Equipment and Utility Machinery

UEA’s slip rings and rotary unions are used in a wide range of machines and systems, including:

• Excavators and Loaders – Slip rings provide uninterrupted electrical signals to rotating cabins and controls, while rotary unions handle hydraulic flow for movement and attachments.
• Cranes and Aerial Lifts – Continuous rotation and elevation require slip rings for power and data, and rotary unions for hydraulic control of booms and buckets.
• Service and Utility Trucks – Rotary unions allow fluid transfer for hydraulic systems on trucks used for repair, lifting, or roadside maintenance.
• Directional Drills and Trenchers – Slip rings enable control and monitoring of rotating drill heads, while rotary unions transfer drilling fluid or other media.
• Forestry and Agricultural Loaders – Equipment with rotating implements requires dependable fluid and electrical connections to function efficiently.

 

Durability by Design

UEA designs each component for long-term use, even under harsh mechanical stress and rough outdoor conditions. From temperature swings to vibration and shock, our slip rings and rotary unions maintain reliable connections across a variety of machine and equipment types.
