Electric slip ring ES series

capsuleindustrialcopper

Overview
The ES Series electrical slip ring is a rotating assembly for transferring analog and digital signals, control circuits and data from stationary inlets to rotating outlets. The compact capsule design features low torque, gold-on-gold contacts and flexible color-coded lead wires. Standard models cover 6 to 56 circuits, with seals for light dust and splash protection and an optional IP65 enclosure for full dust/water protection. Combined fluid-and-electrical integrated packages are available on request.

Key Features

• Compact capsule slip ring with low torque design
• Gold-on-gold contacts for reliable signal transfer
• Flexible, color-coded lead wires (standard lead gauge options shown below)
• Standard lead length: 48" [1219 mm]
• Lead gauge: 28 AWG, 26 AWG
• Wire material: silver-plated copper
• Electrical noise: up to 60 milliohms (max)
• Sealed for light dust, splash and condensation; optional IP65 enclosure for 360° continuous rotation up to 250 RPM
• Transfers analog and digital signals; compatible with common data-bus protocols (application-dependent)

Notes on Data Transfer
Successful digital data transfer depends on signal levels, cable type/length, grounding and shielding. For high-speed or Ethernet applications choose Ethernet-capable series (ESE / ESET) or consult engineering for compatibility and approvals.
