Slip Rings (Custom Electrical Slip Ring Assemblies)
A slip ring is an electromechanical device that transfers power and electrical signals from a stationary structure to a rotating one. United Equipment Accessories designs and builds custom slip rings that transmit power and signals across rotating interfaces. From compact capsules to through-bore and flat “pancake” formats, our engineers tailor each unit to your circuits, voltages, data protocols, speed, and environment. Choose from carbon or wire brush contact systems, stainless and high-seal Alpha Slip Rings™ for subsea and more extreme conditions, plus contactless RF and wireless options for high-speed data. Typical applications include wind turbines, construction and utility equipment, robotics, marine systems, medical devices, and industrial automation.

The FAQ’s
Commonly Asked Questions about our Slip Rings
A device that transfers power and electrical signals between stationary and rotating parts using rings and brushes (or contactless tech for RF/wireless)
Slip rings handle electrical power/signals; rotary unions transfer fluids. Many systems integrate both on the same axis (UEA offers both).
When you need contact-free, high-speed data with minimal wear. Both are options in compact, sealed designs.
Yes. Designs and filtering support Ethernet/CAN and other protocols; talk with engineering for noise/EMI requirements.
