Rotary Connector 6-8 Channels – Slip Ring – Rotary Collector

Rotation: How to Transmit Electricity?

A rotary connector is also called a rotary collector, slip ring, sliding spring, or collector ring.

It is a mechanism that allows electricity to be transmitted along a rotating axis.

Example: A light turns on and off on a continuously rotating platform, a speaker rotates back and forth while playing sound, or a sensor at the end of a small crane arm needs to send a signal beyond a rotating axis...

In all these cases, without a rotary connector, continuous rotation would not be possible because electrical wires would twist, tangle, and eventually break.

The rotary connector allows for mobile electrical contacts to be inserted along the wires.

• Signal transmission: Sensor data, actuator commands, audio streams...
• Power transmission: Ground, low voltage, and compatibility with 240V mains power.

Fixed Part / Rotating Part

The connector consists of two mechanical parts and wires.

The stator side must be secured using three screws or nuts. It anchors the wires on one side of the mechanism.

The rotor side rotates freely and outputs a bundle of 6 or 8 wires
