Slip Rings for Cranes For many years, Mercotac® Brushless Slip Rings have been the top choice for a diverse range of industries and applications, including for Cranes or Hoists, due to their various advantages, such as:

  • Continuous electrical connection through 360° full rotation
  • Great signal strength
  • Long-lasting and maintenance free
  • Low resistance
  • Small compact envelope for easy integration
Mercotac brushless slip rings are used in various material handling equipment applications, including cranes, conveyors, and hoists. The Mercotac brushless slip ring design provides reliable and continuous operation. The following are some examples of their applications.
Cranes: Cranes are used to lift and move heavy loads in construction sites, ports, and warehouses. Mercotac’s brushless slip rings, which have superior features compared to standard brush-type slip rings, are commonly used in cranes to provide reliable electrical connections for power and control systems.

Slip Rings for Cranes Yacht Cranes: Yacht cranes also rely on Mercotac slip rings for power and signal transmission between the stationary control panel and rotating crane arm.
Material handling: Cable reels with Mercotac brushless slip rings are often used in material handling applications such as cranes, hoists, and conveyor systems. They allow for the transmission of power and control signals to the rotating cable reel part of the equipment, ensuring reliable and continuous operation. Slip Rings for Cranes
Slip Rings for Cranes Marine: Cable reels with Mercotac brushless slip rings are used in marine applications such as cranes, winches, and hoists. They allow for the transmission of power and control signals to the rotating cable reel, ensuring efficient operation in marine environments.
As outlined, Mercotac brushless slip rings are used in a variety of material handling equipment applications, including cranes, conveyors, and hoists. They are designed to provide reliable and continuous operation. With their no maintenance design, they are a dramatic improvement over brush type slip rings, which because of the rubbing interface can wear, require maintenance, and cause signal degradation.
