Commercial - Industrial Slip Rings

AC6815

1-1/2 inch through-bore 2 A, 3.5 A, 10 A and high speed data AC6815 Slip Ring

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, collector, swivel or a rotary joint. A slip ring can improve system performance by simplifying operations and eliminating damage-prone wires dangling from movable joints.

The 1-1/2 inch unobstructed through-bore provides routing space for hydraulics, pneumatics or for a concentric shaft mount.

The AC6815 is designed for error free data communication transmission. Using patented “broadband” slip ring technology, this slip ring is pre-engineered to carry a wide variety of data formats. For example, the AC6815 can handle Ethernet channels of 10, 100 and 1000 BaseT. The precious metal contacts are maintenance free and provide long life and are part of the error-free data communication link.
