USB Slip Rings for Rotating Cameras Sensors and Test Rigs
A USB slip ring keeps a USB device on a rotating platform enumerated and streaming while the platform turns without limit.
All 8 USB Slip Rings Models
Listed in full, each with its own parameter table.
What This Family Is For
The constraint
USB is timing sensitive and short range. A rotating contact that introduces resistance variation or noise drops the device off the bus mid-session.
How INGIANT answers it
INGIANT USB units carry the data pairs on dedicated channels with precious metal contacts, alongside power rings for the device and the drive, in a capsule or through bore body.
Who buys this family
Builders of inspection rigs, 3D scanning turntables, rotating test stands, camera platforms and laboratory automation.
Standard Values Across This Family
These are the catalogue values that appear on most models in this family. Every one of them can be changed on a customised build.
Rotating speed
Catalogue units are rated 0–600 rpm. Lower and higher speed designs are built to order.
Working temperature
-40 °C to +65 °C on standard builds, with wider ranges designed against the application.
Protection level
IP54 as standard, with sealing grades up to IP68 where the environment demands it.
Insulation
Insulation resistance ≥1000 MΩ at 500 VDC, insulation strength 1500 VAC at 50 Hz for 60 s.
Contact system
Precious metal ring and brush pairs with dynamic resistance variation below 10 mΩ.
Lead wire
Colour-coded Teflon insulated tinned stranded flexible wire, 500 mm + 20 mm as standard.

USB Slip Rings Questions Engineers Ask
Which USB versions are supported?
Channel design depends on the data rate you need. Send the USB version, the cable length on each side and the rotating speed with your enquiry.
Can USB and power share a slip ring?
Yes. The USB data channels and the power rings are built into the same body.
What length of lead is supplied?
Standard lead length on most INGIANT units is 500 mm with a tolerance of 20 mm, and other lengths are made to order.
