Slip rings
SCHLEIFRING GigaCAP contactless data transmission
Schleifring's capacitive contactless data link, used in CT gantries for very high-rate image data and in wind pitch rings as a wear-free Ethernet path.

Typical applications
Alternatives that meet or exceed these figures
Engineers often come to us with a SCHLEIFRING part number and leave with an alternative that is easier to source, quicker to deliver or a better fit for the machine. These 3 series from our supply network are the closest match on published figures.
A small analogue power-and-signal slip ring with FASTON quick-connect terminals for fast wiring in dusty, high-cycle machinery. Optional IP65 sealing.
View HR Series Faston Type Slip Ring →High-circuit-count slip rings that carry hundreds of mixed power, digital, analogue, fibre and RF channels in one unit.
View Multi-channel Slip Ring →Slip rings using heat-resistant materials for extreme temperatures from -55°C to +250°C, such as hot rollers and heating plant.
View High & Low Temperature Slip Ring →Figures are the highest published for each series and are not always measured the same way. A higher figure is not automatically a better choice: mounting, duty cycle, feedback, connectors and approvals matter too. An engineer will check the fit against your application before recommending anything.
