Wind Energy Slip Rings

WP58484

IP65 sealed slip ring for harsh environments WP58484 Slip Ring

A slip ring is used in electromechanical systems to allow full, unimpeded rotation of electrical power and signal circuits. The WP58484 provides both power and signal contacts in a stainless steel housing that is sealed to prevent fluid and dust intrusion to IP65 level. This slip ring is ideally suited for transfer of power and signal down the tower in small wind turbine applications.
