Slip Ring Assemblies

Slip Rings & Rotary Devices

Slip rings and rotary transfer devices provide a reliable electromechanical solution for transmitting power, signals and data between stationary and rotating parts of a machine.

mclennan supplies a wide range of slip rings designed to maintain continuous electrical connection during rotation, eliminating cable twist, reducing wear and improving overall system reliability.

Function & Benefits

Slip rings enable:

• Continuous 360° rotation

• Simultaneous transmission of power and signal circuits

• Reduced mechanical strain on cabling

• Improved system durability and uptime

• Simplified machine design

By removing the need for exposed or twisting cables at rotating joints, slip rings help prevent premature cable failure, reduce maintenance requirements and support cleaner, more compact machine layouts.

Application Areas

Our slip rings and rotary devices are widely used in:

• Robotics and automated handling systems

• Rotary indexing tables

• Packaging machinery

• Medical and imaging equipment

• Inspection and test systems

• Wind and renewable energy systems

Options are available for power-only, signal-only or combined power and data transmission, including solutions for Ethernet, fieldbus and other communication protocols.

Engineering Support

With extensive motion control and automation experience, mclennan can assist with specification, electrical loading assessment, environmental considerations and mechanical integration to ensure reliable long-term operation.

If you are unsure which slip ring configuration best suits your application, our sales and applications engineers can provide practical guidance and support.
