Slip rings and rotary joints

SCHLEIFRING has been a global technology and market leader for electrical slip rings and contactless rotary joints for more than five decades. As a specialist in high-precision slip ring systems, we develop solutions for the reliable transmission of power, electrical signals, data and media between stationary and rotating components – even under extreme conditions on land, at sea, in the air or in space.

More than 6,000 customer-specific developments worldwide, over 260 patents and an international team of around 800 experts at five global locations demonstrate our innovative strength and technological expertise in slip ring technology.

About us

To ensure progress in the medical sector, imaging techniques such as computer tomography are indispensable. Modern CT scanners generate huge amounts of data in order to produce high-resolution images. These are transmitted contactlessly, quickly and reliably by our CT slip rings designed specifically for this purpose – at up to 340 gigabits per second.

Military radar with several large antennas against a blue sky.

The more information, the higher the level of safety. This is the formula for success for slip rings in radar and reconnaissance systems, 360° surveillance systems and baggage scanners. We put this into practice by incorporating an increasing amount of technology in the same installation space in order to achieve improved performance and higher transmission rates.

Two large wind turbines stand in green fields under a blue sky.

Renewable energy generated by wind is one of the key components of the global energy transition. To ensure the efficiency of on- and offshore installations, quickly and precisely adjustable rotor blades are essential. Power and signals for this purpose are reliably transmitted by our high-precision wind turbine slip rings.

Industry’s requirements on slip rings and rotary joints are as wide-ranging as the processes themselves. Together with our customers, we develop suitable bespoke transmission solutions: whether contactless and maintenance-free, optimized for confined installation spaces, or contacting and inexpensive. It’s the goal that counts.
