I´ve searched hi and low, for months, but can´t seem to find slip rings anywhere suitable for small motors and electronics. Anybody here who has any suppliers in hand ?

For light-duty stuff, 3.5mm or quarter-inch jacks can be useful.

And four poles could allow you to pass power, ground, and a full duplex comm link through the rotating and fixed assemblies. What more could a rotating project require.  Lefty |
