ABSTRACT:
A slip ring assembly for allowing electrical or electronic signal transfer between a stationary device and a rotating device includes a ring assembly and a brush assembly. The ring assembly comprises a plurality of assembled rings and spacers of selected widths positioned on a longitudinal tube having a slot and a hollow center. The tube may be provided with one or more bearings to allow the tube to be smoothly rotatable in a housing. A plurality of brushes unitarily formed with a plurality of connector pins are held by a brush holder which is removably received in the housing. The connector pins are configured to receive a standard male or female connector. The housing is typically incorporated into a body of a stationary device, and the tube may be attached to or incorporated into a rotating component of an electronic or electrical device.
