- 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.
