Wind turbine slip ring Rotating contact
The slip ring of the wind turbine is an important part of the wind energy systems, which enables the efficient operation of the blades and the energy transfer to the rotating and non-rotating parts. Appropriate planning and maintenance ensure reliable operation of the system in the long term.
The wind turbine slip ring is a mechanical element that enables the wireless energy and data transmission that drives the wind wheel, i.e. the rotating blades. Since the blades of the wind turbine are constantly rotating with the change of wind direction, traditional wire solutions cannot be used for the movement of the blades. In such cases, the slip ring provides a connection that allows data and energy to be transmitted between rotating and non-rotating components.

Wind turbine slip rings and rotating contacts: The key to reliable power transmission
In our online store you will find a wide selection of wind turbine slip rings and rotating contacts, which reliable power transmission between the rotating and stationary components of wind turbines. Our products are available in various sizes, current and voltage ranges and various functions to meet your unique needs.
Horizontal-axis wind turbines are twisted left and right by the wind, and the electric cable leading to them would naturally twist if it were not for this ingenious little device, the slip ring contact.
Of course, it should be dust and rainproof, and for the best conductivity, the contacts should be gold-plated.
Why is the slip ring important in wind turbines?
The rotor of wind turbines rotates continuously as the wind direction changes, while current must flow to the generator. The slip ring transforms this rotating movement into an electrical connection, providing uninterrupted power supply.
The advantages of slip rings:
- Reliable power transmission:Slip ringsprecise and durable provide strong> contact, minimizing power loss and the possibility of error.
- Long service life:The slip ringsmade of high quality materials strong>are made andresist extreme weather conditions.
- Easy maintenance:Slip ringsare easy to maintain >, and wear parts are replaceable.
- Versatility: The slip rings for different types of wind turbines and other rotating machines .
Slip rings and rotary contacts play a key role in reliable and efficient wind energy generation. In our online store, you will find the slip ring that fits your wind turbine perfectly to ensure reliable power supply.
