Slip Rings for Aerospace and Defence Rotating Systems

Aircraft pods, satellite solar arrays, seeker heads and radar platforms all rotate continuously, and the rotating connector on those axes is one of the few single point failure devices on the whole vehicle.

Industry Pain Points

What Goes Wrong on These Axes

Constraint 1

A failure in orbit or in flight cannot be serviced, so the joint has to reach the mission life on the first build.

Constraint 2

Space and airborne environments swing between high and low temperature extremes with no maintenance window.

Constraint 3

Electro-optical payloads need light, RF and power through the same axis without adding length to the gimbal.

How INGIANT answers it

INGIANT supplies electrical rotary connectors, optical rotary connection devices, electro-optical combination connectors and microwave rotary connectors for these platforms, and is a long-term qualified supplier to military units and research institutes, working to GJB9001C as well as ISO 9001.

FAQ

Aerospace and Defence Questions

Do you work to defence quality standards?

INGIANT holds GJB9001C alongside ISO 9001 and GB/T 19001-2008 / ISO 9001:2008, and has supplied military units and research institutes on a long-term qualified supplier basis.

Can light RF and power be combined on one gimbal axis?

Yes. Electro-optical combination rotary connectors carry optical channels, RF paths and electrical rings in one body, which keeps gimbal length down.

What service life can you design to?

Service life is set per application against the Standard, Industrial and Premium grades, and up to one billion revolutions is achievable.
