Cable assembly for slip rings and rotary feedthroughs
Cable assembly is a key area of our services that enables us to customise slip rings precisely to the specific requirements of our customers. By precisely manufacturing and installing cable configurations, we can ensure that our slip rings are seamlessly integrated into our customers’ existing systems and applications.

The various rotarX slip ring series are optimised for a wide range of applications. We support our customers for tailor-made solutions. All products can be individually adapted to the applications in order to offer you added value. Premium Engineering Slip Ring Solutions.
Customised cable configurations
Our cable assembly processes begin with the selection and manufacture of customised cables that meet the specific requirements of the application in question. This includes the production of cables in specific lengths, with special electrical properties and mechanical specifications. Our engineers work closely with customers to ensure that each cable configuration is precisely matched to the technical requirements and operating environment.
Use of the customer's favourite cables
Our customers have the option of using their favourite cable for the application. If the customer uses a special cable type in their system or has already had good experience with a particular cable, we can also test this cable for the respective application and integrate it into the slip ring. This flexibility enables us to optimally fulfil the specific requirements and preferences of our customers and facilitate integration into existing systems.

EMC protection
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection is a critical factor in cable assembly, especially in applications operating in high electromagnetic interference (EMI) environments. Our EMC-protected cables are designed to minimise electromagnetic interference and ensure signal integrity.
– Shielding: Our cables are equipped with high-quality shielding that effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference. This can be achieved by braided copper shields, aluminium tape shields or a combination of both technologies. These shields protect the signals from external EMI sources and at the same time prevent the cables themselves from acting as a source of interference. – Twisted pair configurations: For signalling cables, we often use twisted pair configurations to reduce susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. This technique ensures that the electromagnetic fields of the individual conductors cancel each other out, which increases the interference immunity of the signals. – EMC cable glands: In addition, we use EMC cable glands that have been specially developed to ensure safe and reliable earthing of the shields and suppress high-frequency interference. These cable glands provide effective shielding and increase the overall efficiency of EMC protection by ensuring a continuous chain of protection from the cable to the connection.
Advanced testing and validation
Our cable assembly processes include extensive testing and validation procedures to ensure that all cables and connections meet the highest quality and performance standards. Standard tests include:
– Insulation resistance tests: checking the insulation capability of the cables to ensure there are no unwanted current paths. – Contact resistance tests: Measurement of the electrical resistance of the cables to ensure that it is within the specified limits and that there is no loss of power. – High voltage tests: Application of high voltages to check the dielectric strength and electrical safety of the cables and connections.
Cable assembly is carried out with the utmost precision and care to ensure that all cables and connections function optimally and fulfil the desired specifications. Our experienced technicians use advanced assembly techniques and tools to ensure that the cables are safely and reliably integrated. To summarise, our comprehensive cable assembly services enable us to develop and manufacture slip rings that are precisely tailored to the specific requirements and needs of our customers. By using customised cable configurations, individual connectors and advanced EMC protection technologies, as well as the ability to integrate the customer’s preferred cables, we can ensure that our slip rings are seamlessly integrated into existing systems and work reliably and efficiently in a wide range of demanding applications.
