Designed for Marine Conditions

Salt, moisture, and pressure can impact performance if components aren’t properly protected. UEA slip rings and rotary unions are built with corrosion-resistant materials, advanced sealing technologies, and designs that help maintain operation in wet and submerged environments.

 

Applications in Ocean, Marine, and Subsea Systems

Our components are used in a variety of systems that support offshore operations, vessel functions, and underwater equipment:

• Offshore Oil and Gas – Slip rings and rotary unions are used on drilling platforms and floating production systems to manage hydraulic, electrical, and control signals in rotating equipment.
• Marine Cranes and Winches – Reliable rotation and power transfer are required for hoisting and positioning loads at sea.
• Underwater ROVs and AUVs – Slip rings and rotary unions support the movement, communication, and tool control of remotely operated and autonomous underwater vehicles.
• Vessel Propulsion and Steering – Components support hydraulic or electrical systems that control steering, thrusters, and propulsion units.
• Research Buoys and Subsea Monitoring Equipment – Continuous signal and power transfer enables data collection and communication from submerged or floating systems.

 

Made for Long-Term Exposure

Marine environments create constant wear from movement, temperature changes, and corrosion. UEA components are built to maintain function over extended periods, with minimal service interruptions and protection against water ingress and salt-related corrosion.

 

Custom Configurations Available

Ocean-based systems often require non-standard configurations due to space, electrical requirements, or the need for specific fluid channels. UEA provides custom-engineered slip rings and rotary unions to fit the exact needs of your equipment.
