                            A conductor band mounted on an armature and insulated from it. A brush slides on the band as the armature rotates. The function of the slip ring system is essentially the same as a commutator and brushes. Slip rings are also used to transmit current from the armature in a generator application.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Electrically conductive ring, which is used around a shaft to conduct current from a rotating part to a non-rotating part as with generators or electric motors.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            A slip ring (in electrical engineering terms) is a method of making an electrical connection through a rotating assembly. Slip rings, also called rotary electrical interfaces, collectors, swivels or electrical rotary joints, are commonly found in electrical generators for AC systems and alternators.
