Commercial - Industrial Slip Rings

AC6355

Compact in various circuit configurations AC6355 Slip Ring Capsule

A slip ring capsule can be used in any electromechanical system that requires unrestrained, intermittent, or continuous rotation while transferring power and / or data.

The AC6355 provides an economical, readily available solution when a compact, high circuit count configuration is required. Our standard units, AC6355-36 and AC6355-56 offer 36, 2 amp and 56, 2 amp signal rings, respectively. These units can be modified to provide various combinations of power, signal and coax circuits. Similar in design to our very popular AC6023, this design features gold-on-gold contact technology for ultimate performance in many challenging applications.
