Slip Ring - 6 Wire (2A) – SparkFun
The Slip Ring – 6 Wire (2A) from SparkFun is a compact and reliable electromechanical component designed to transfer electrical signals or power between stationary and rotating parts, ensuring continuous 360° rotation without tangling or wire fatigue. Perfect for use in wind turbines, rotating sensors, robotics, radar antennae, and other rotary devices, this slip ring provides smooth, uninterrupted signal transmission for demanding electromechanical systems. This 6-wire slip ring features gold-on-gold alloy fiber brush contacts and plated ring connections, offering exceptional electrical conductivity, low resistance, and long-lasting performance even under continuous rotation. With a continuous working speed of up to 250 RPM, it ensures stable electrical connection and durability in dynamic motion applications. The slip ring can handle a current rating of 2A per wire and supports up to 210VDC / 240VAC operating voltage, making it versatile for low- to medium-power signal and current transmission. It is housed in a compact 22mm diameter body with a 44.5mm flange, allowing easy integration into small or confined assemblies. The 250mm long, 28AWG stranded leads on both ends make wiring convenient, while its IP51 protection rating ensures basic protection against dust and limited moisture exposure.
