Slip Rings & Rotary Joints for Defense and Aerospace

Power, data, and RF transfer across continuous rotation—engineered for sensor gimbals, radars, and mobile defense systems

  • Problem → Value

    The challenge: Mission systems need continuous rotation without cable fatigue—while carrying clean power, low-noise signals, and sometimes RF or fiber.

    Our answer: Modular slip ring assemblies and rotary joints tailored to your payload: power + low-level signals, Ethernet/video, optional RF (HFRJ) or fiber (FORJ), and sealing for domes or exposed environments.

  • Applications

    Gimbaled sensors and radar pedestals (C2 and tracking subsystems)

    Mobile defense systems and stabilized platforms

    SATCOM-on-the-move antenna pedestals

    Test ranges and instrumentation turntables

    Customize

  • Capabilities

    Power rings sized to your voltage/current, plus low-noise signal rings

    Data: Ethernet/serial, video channels with shielding options

    RF options (HFRJ): Coax or waveguide paths when required

    Fiber options (FORJ): Single-mode or multi-mode fiber channels

    Mechanical: Through-bore options, custom flanges, bearings, sealing (IP options)

    Environmental: Operating temp ranges, shock/vibration accommodation

    Qualification: Test plans aligned to your platform needs (e.g., thermal cycling, vibration, continuity/insulation tests)
