Overview

Slip rings offer seamless transmission of power, data, and signals in continuous or intermittent rotating systems. Manufactured using state-of-the-art processes and materials, these electric slip rings are built to last, ensuring optimal performance even in the most demanding operational environments. Whether your requirement is for high-speed data transmission, high current loads or precise signal transference, BGB has you covered. 

In 2022, we expanded our capacity to test, evaluate and refurbish or repair worn or damaged slip ring assemblies to meet customer requirements. From single units to large batches, we aim to offer an economical, efficient way to extend the life of slip ring assemblies, reducing waste and with a subsequent reduction of demand on resources.  

If the assembly is beyond repair, we can offer advice on suitable new alternatives at competitive prices. We can provide a 12-month or an extended 24-month warranty for the repair, depending on the unit and your requirement.

Variations

There are various types of standard and custom slip rings that lend themselves to a multitude of application speeds.

  • Barrel Slip Rings: Often hailed as the most prevalent type, these robust high-speed slip ring assemblies are tailored for a range of applications, particularly those operating at slower to medium speeds.

  • Modular Slip Rings: Optimised for both slow and medium-paced applications, these variants are ideal for power transmission up to 30 amps and can handle signal transmissions of all varieties. 

  • Pancake or Flat Slip Rings: Where height becomes a limiting factor, the pancake or flat design is the solution. It ensures efficient transmission of signals and power in environments with restricted vertical space.

  • Fabricated / Cast & Built-Up: These slip rings are perfect for rebuilding, re-insulating and repairing units. Especially valuable in the maintenance of slip ring units and carbon brushes.

  • Capsule Slip Rings: When working with constricted spaces, capsule slip rings, known for their miniature design, are perfect for this use. They are designed for applications that demand compact solutions without compromising on performance.

With a wide range of variations at hand, understanding the specifics can enable you to choose the most suitable slip ring for your application needs. Whether standard or custom-designed, our slip rings are crafted to adapt to diverse application speeds and requirements.
