A slip ring passes electrical signals and power across a rotating interface using sliding electrical contacts. These contacts are typically a rotating ring and a stationary brush, or wiper, that slides along the ring surface during rotation. Materials and design approaches for these contacts have been optimized to minimize wear and maximize electrical performance.
