30 Channel Slipring
High Channel Count Electromechanical Slipring for Power and Signal Transmission in Defence, Aerospace and Industrial Rotating Systems
The System Controls 30 Channel Slipring is a high channel count electromechanical slipring for simultaneous power and signal transmission across rotating interfaces in radar antennas, aerospace equipment, robotics, control systems and medical equipment. Rated at 4 to 16A per channel with 1.5 Nm starting and operating torque, IP40 ingress protection per IEC 529 and an operating and storage temperature range of -30°C to +55°C, it supports an average rotation speed of 30 RPM and a maximum of 60 RPM in a 120mm diameter by 198mm length assembly weighing 5.4 kg with cable.
What is the 30 Channel Slipring?
Sliprings, also known as rotary electrical joints, collectors or electric swivels, are electromechanical devices that allow the transmission of power and electrical signals from a stationary to a rotating structure. The System Controls 30 Channel Slipring provides 30 independent channels across a single rotating interface, covering the higher channel count requirements of complex radar, aerospace and industrial rotating systems. Rated at 4 to 16A per channel, it carries IP40 ingress protection per IEC 529 with SAF-P-035 surface treatment, 1.5 Nm starting and operating torque and an operating and storage temperature range of -30°C to +55°C. The 120mm diameter by 198mm length assembly at 5.4 kg with cable provides a compact, robust installation for defence and industrial rotating system integration.

30 Channels for Complex Rotating System Integration
The 30-channel configuration provides sufficient channel capacity for the most demanding defence and industrial rotating system interface requirements, where both high-current power distribution and multiple independent signal and communication channels are required simultaneously. This high channel density in a single compact assembly reduces the mechanical complexity and space requirements of the rotating interface architecture compared to using multiple smaller slipring assemblies.
IP40 Protection for Defence and Industrial Environments
IP40 ingress protection per IEC 529 with SAF-P-035 surface treatment provides protection against solid particle ingress while maintaining reliable electrical contact performance across the operating and storage temperature range of -30°C to +55°C. This protection level covers the environmental conditions encountered by radar antenna, aerospace equipment, robotics and industrial automation rotating system deployments.
4 to 16A Flexible Current Rating
The 4 to 16A per channel current range provides flexibility across different power distribution requirements within the same slipring assembly, accommodating both lower current signal and control channels and higher current power supply channels within the 30-channel configuration. This flexibility eliminates the need to segregate power and signal transmission into separate slipring assemblies in many rotating system designs.
Low 1.5 Nm Torque for Smooth Rotation
Starting and operating torque of 1.5 Nm ensures that the slipring imposes minimal additional load on the rotating system drive mechanism, contributing to smooth, consistent rotation speed and reducing the drive power requirement at the rotating assembly. Low running torque is particularly important in precision surveillance radar and antenna systems where consistent rotation speed directly affects scan performance.
