This unit can be used in any electromechanical system that requires unrestrained, continuous rotation while transferring power or data from a stationary to a rotating structure. It is also called a rotary electrical interface, commutator, collector, swivel or an electrical rotary joint. It can improve electromechanical capability, simplify system design, eliminate possible damage while rotation.

The LPM-12E miniature slip ring is a standard, off-the-shelf unit that uses gold contacts at the rotary interface.

Color-coded lead wires are used on both the stator and rotor for simplifying electrical connections.

The LPM-12E allows tremendous flexibility in dealing with system size restrictions.

It is available in 4, 6 and 12 circuit configurations.
