Abstract

A slip ring is a rotary electrical interface, collector, swivel or joint. It is a component or architecture that can perform continuous data transfer between a rotary and stationary structure. A few of the numerous approaches for transferring data include contact and non-contact methods which use wires, radio waves, optical fibers and even liquid as the transfer media. However, they all suffer inherent drawbacks in durability, reliability, stability, electromagnetic interference and speed. The system introduced in this paper alleviates many of these issues by employing a wireless through the air optical solution.
