A slip ring is suitable for any electromechanical setup that needs continuous, unrestricted rotation while transferring electrical power or signals between a stationary and a rotating part. The AST050 model incorporates Sulal Tech's fiber brush technology, which provides several benefits compared to traditional slip ring contacts.

These include multiple contact points per brush bundle, reduced contact friction, and minimal wear. The fiber brushes are maintenance-free as they don't need lubrication and generate almost no wear debris. The AST050 also comes with brush blocks that can be serviced in the field.
