Commercial - Industrial Slip Rings

AC6023

Compact in various circuit configurations AC6023 Slip Ring Capsule

A slip ring can be used in any electromechanical system that requires unrestrained, continuous rotation while transferring power and / or data from a stationary to a rotating structure. A slip ring is also called a rotary electrical interface, commutator, collector, swivel or an electrical rotary joint.

The AC6023 slip ring capsule is a standard, off-the-shelf unit that uses gold contacts at the rotary interface. Color-coded lead wires are used on both the stator and rotor for simplified electrical connections.

The AC6023 utilizes 90° V-groove rings to provide smoother running, lower torque and lower (electrical) noise than competitive slip rings. It is available in 6, 12, 18 and 24 circuit models.
