Slip Ring for Rigid Fixed Wingsail

A leading European maritime customer required a highly specialized slip ring solution for a rigid fixed wingsail application. The slip ring needed to be compact enough to integrate at the bottom of the mast while supporting a high number of circuits, robust data transmission, and reliable performance in harsh marine environments.

• Over 150 circuits for complex signal and power management
• Dedicated power circuits for motor control
• High-speed fieldbus capability for advanced communication
• Shielded cabling for reduced interference
• IP65 protection against environmental factors
• Optional optical fiber integration for future scalability
• A design optimized to fit seamlessly within the mechanical constraints of the system

The tailored slip ring provided a reliable, high-performance solution that enabled precise control and communication within the rigid fixed wingsail system. The collaboration with Product Engineering Services ensured a smooth development process, delivering both innovation and practicality for this demanding application.
