Of all the challenges involved in building a complex mechanism with relative moving parts, routing the electrical connections through that mechanism usually proves to be at the top of the list. For a rotating interface requiring continuous rotation, a slip ring is necessary. If the range of motion is limited, a twist capsule may be a cost-effective alternative.

Having supplied electrical transfer subsystems for dozens of flight programs, Honeybee Robotics is intimately familiar with the nuances of design and assembly that enable low drag torque, high reliability, long lifetime, and volume efficiency. We have mature high-TRL systems ready for integration, and also provide custom solutions for specific customer applications.
