Integrated Solutions

Slip rings transmit information via electric contacts (brushes rubbing against tracks). 

 

Exxelia has been developing slip rings for over 50 years and our knowhow enables us to integrate different levels of technology in our Rotary Joint Assemblies (RJA) such as: Fiber Optic Rotary Joints (FORJ), Radio Frequency Rotary Joints (RFRJ), Encoders and more, giving our clients products they can rely on for smooth transmission of high power levels, HD-SDI signals, high speed Ethernet and more even in challenging environments. This is why our slip rings are typically found in demanding and sophisticated rotating machinery and equipment, such as radars, industrial robots, drilling tools, embarked optronics, surveillance systems and rotating sensors.

 

Our slip rings mechanical interfaces can be engineered to suit your needs and optimized to reduce your system’s cluttering. In applications where space or size constraints are a consideration, Exxelia’s designs are giving the option to consider hollow shaft, pancake designs and other tailor made structures to integrate seamlessly in your system.

Exxelia slip rings use advanced materials and design methods to effectively dissipate heat, ensuring reliable operation under high thermal conditions.

What quality certifications does Exxelia hold?

Exxelia is certified EN 9100, a quality standard specific to the aerospace, space, and defense sectors. Our facilities are also ISO 9001 certified (quality management), and some are certified ISO 13485 for medical devices. Other industry-specific standards, such as NADCAP or AQAP, may also apply depending on the products and markets.

Why is EN 9100 certification important for the aerospace and space sectors?

The EN 9100 standard ensures a rigorous quality management system tailored to the critical requirements of the aerospace, space, and defense industries. It is required by major OEMs such as Airbus, Safran, Thales, or CNES. This certification guarantees product traceability, risk management, and compliance with international standards.

Are your components certified for use in medical devices?

Yes, some of our facilities are ISO 13485 certified, the quality standard for medical devices. This certification enables Exxelia to design and manufacture components (such as coils, sensors, or capacitors) used in high-reliability medical equipment, including MRI scanners, ventilators, and imaging systems.

What benefits do your certifications bring to the railway sector?

The railway industry demands durability, reliability, and long service life. While a dedicated certification like EN 9100 is not required, Exxelia applies IRIS standards and complies with IEC/EN regulations specific to railway applications. Our quality processes ensure component compliance for trains, metros, and tramways, including fire safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Are your products compliant with defense standards?

Yes. Exxelia meets defense industry requirements through its EN 9100 certification and compliance with military standards (MIL-STD, STANAG). Our components are qualified for critical applications such as RF systems, embedded electronics, guided munitions, or radar systems. Some products are also subject to customer-specific qualification procedures.
