BGB ENGINEERING PROFILE

BGB Engineering is a high precision electro-mechanical engineering company. Established in 1976 as a manufacturer of carbon brush holders, the business progressed into the production of electrical slip rings during the 1980’s.  Whilst BGB continues to supply both brush holders and slip rings as standard component parts, today’s core activity is the design and manufacture of specialised slip ring solutions.

The Company continues to develop slip ring technology in conjunction with global customers. Partnerships are formed through working closely with clients’ design engineers and having the operational flexibility to meet their requirements. 

SLIP RING OVERVIEW

Slip rings provide the dynamic electrical connections between machine static and rotating elements.  They function as a rotary interface, continually transferring electrical power, signals and data through to 360 degrees

Slip rings are produced in varying types and sizes, dependant upon:

• Application current
• Application voltage
• Application power
• Nature & quantity of signals
• Size of the mounting shaft
• Size of the through bore
• Radial speed
• Available space envelope
• Operating environment
