Slip Rings

Slip Rings | Custom Electrical Slip Ring Assemblies

UEA designs and builds custom slip rings that move power and data through continuous rotation. From compact capsules to large through-bore assemblies, we size the circuits, contact system, and sealing to your duty cycle and environment.

Applications range from construction and agriculture to marine, wind, robotics, medical equipment, and automation. We support Ethernet/CAN, HD video, and mixed signals, with brush/track metallurgy and IP ratings selected for your noise, temperature, and washdown needs.

  • United Equipment Accessories, Inc. (UEA) has been a leader in custom slip ring design and manufacturing.
  • Serving diverse industries such as construction, industrial, marine, and agriculture.
  • Every UEA slip ring is custom-designed to enhance performance and reliability, making us your trusted partner in specialized rotary connectivity solutions.

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 Ring: passes electric power and signals across a rotating interface, so your system can rotate freely without twisting wires.

Rotary union (rotary joint/swivel): passes fluids (hydraulic oil) across rotation.

They’re different functions but often used together. Many machines need both: the slip ring for power/data and the rotary union for hydraulics or air. UEA also integrates hybrid assemblies (power + data + fluid) when the application calls for a single rotating package.

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.
