ByTune through hole slip ring---BTH0318 are one-piece conductive slip rings with a hole in the center, also known as hollow slip rings. These slip rings can be designed to adapt to various hole diameters and are mainly used to transmit precision signals, large currents, and high voltage working environments. They have the characteristics of low torque, low loss, and low electrical noise, which can stably transmit power or signals, cool or air media, optical or RF channels, etc.
