No two applications are exactly alike, but that doesn’t always mean you need a completely custom slip ring. At Fabricast, we work with customers to find the right balance between performance, lead time, and cost by offering standard products, modified standard designs, and fully custom solutions.
Standard Slip Rings
For many applications, one of our standard slip rings provides everything needed to get the job done. These products are built around proven designs and are a good option when the application matches standard specifications.
Modified Standard Slip Rings
Many projects fall somewhere between a standard product and a fully custom design. Instead of starting from scratch, we can modify one of our existing slip rings to better fit your application.
Common modifications include changing the circuit count, increasing the through-bore size, adding mounting features, changing cable lengths, or incorporating ethernet slip ring capabilities. This approach allows customers to receive a solution designed for their equipment while often reducing cost and lead time compared to a fully custom design.
Fully Custom Slip Rings
Some applications require features that cannot be achieved with a modified standard product. In these cases, our engineering team designs a custom ethernet slip ring or rotary electrical solution around the application’s electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements.
Custom designs are often used when space is limited, circuit counts are high, or the application has unique mounting or performance requirements.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Choosing the right solution depends on your equipment, budget, and project timeline. Many customers find that a modified standard slip ring provides the right combination of customization and value. Others may benefit from a fully custom design built specifically for their application.
