Mercury Slip Ring adopts liquid metal mercury as its current transfer medium. Thanks to its special sealing technique, insulation design and compactness, Mercury Slip Ring has outstanding characteristics like long life span, extremely low electrical noise and contact resistance. Besides, this kind of slip rings is able to transfer large volume of current regardless of its compact size while remaining a low cost.

Despites its impressive advantages, Mercury is chronic toxic substance. In case a leakage occurs, it will pose a huge threat to both the environment and the health of operators. As a result, people are actively seeking substitutes for mercury slip rings.
