Conductix-Wampfler product lines

Who Conductix-Wampfler is

Conductix-Wampfler describes itself as a global leader in energy and data management systems for mobile industrial equipment. Its products move power and data to machines that travel or rotate: conductor rails, cable festoons, cable reels, slip rings, data transmission systems and charging solutions. It is part of the Delachaux Group.

On this site we cover only its slip rings and rotary joints. In that field Conductix-Wampfler is known for rugged, modular assemblies for cranes, cable reels and port equipment, Ethernet slip rings for automation, and explosion-proof units for mines and hazardous areas. Many of its cable reels carry its own USR slip rings inside.

History and ownership

Conductix-Wampfler’s company page traces its work in mobile electrification back to 1902. It says it has more than 80 years of experience in bulk material handling and over 50 years in stage technology, runs around 30 sites worldwide and is present in more than 50 countries through its own sales companies and over 55 authorised partners.

The company is part of the Delachaux Group, which signed the United Nations Global Compact in 2017. In September 2026 Conductix-Wampfler announced an agreement to sell its RollerTwist business to Setic & Pourtier. Its website does not give a single legal entity or a group headcount, so we have not stated them. In the UK, Companies House lists Conductix-Wampfler Ltd (01406477), incorporated in December 1978 and active, at 1 Michigan Avenue, Salford.

Product portfolio

Our series records summarise the slip rings Conductix-Wampfler publishes figures for:

• USR / E-USR universal slip rings: modular built-in (USR50, 90, 120) and enclosed (E-USR50, 90) rings from milliamps to 200 A, up to 690 V AC or 600 V DC, 100 rpm, IP00 or IP65, with data to 12 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s options.
• CGR slip rings: heavy-industry CGR 200 and 270 assemblies up to 2,080 A (special versions to 13,000 A), below 1 kV AC, up to 10 rpm, IP55 as standard, with fibre, fluid and 1 Gbit/s data options.
• CER/CEQ slip rings: rectangular and square compact rings, blind or through-hole, with power poles up to 300 A at 690 V AC and real-time Ethernet up to 1 Gbit/s.
• MCS slip rings: IP67 rings for washing and filling machines, 12 A power and 2 A signal rings, 500 V, 50 rpm, -10 to +60 °C.
• USR30 Ethernet slip rings: up to three 100 Mbit/s or two 1 Gbit/s Ethernet lines through RJ45 sockets at up to 100 rpm.
• MiniEth slip rings: a compact single-line 100 Mbit/s or 1 Gbit/s Ethernet ring, suitable for Power over Ethernet.
• STAR explosion-proof slip rings: flameproof units for mines and tunnelling, ATEX marked I M2 Ex db I Mb, up to 800 A and 24 kV on specific models, IP65.

The range also includes the explosion-proof ARIETE and SXD series, the ES/GS modular series, FPS, Robin’6 R and V series, and customised designs.

Technologies and standards

Conductix-Wampfler uses brass power rings with copper-based brushes, silver- or gold-plated rings with silver brushes for signals and data up to 12 Mbit/s, and gold-wire contacts for higher data rates. Assemblies can integrate encoders, anti-condensation heaters, fluid rotary joints and fibre optic rotary joints. Note the speed ratings: most series are rated 10 to 100 rpm, which suits cranes, reels and turntables but not high-speed spindles.

Its explosion-proof slip rings are certified by notified bodies, with compliance depending on the series. For guidance see slip rings for cranes and slewing, slip rings for cable reels, slip rings for wrapping machines and Ethernet through slip rings.

Industries served

Conductix-Wampfler’s slip ring pages name tower, port and offshore cranes, ship unloaders, stacker/reclaimers, food and beverage washing and filling machines, mining and tunnel construction. Its wider business serves material handling, ports, stage and entertainment, automation and e-mobility. See slip rings for bottling and filling.

Points to check when comparing Conductix-Wampfler slip rings

Most Conductix-Wampfler series are rated between 10 and 100 rpm, so confirm the real peak speed of your machine, including any fast slewing or reel spooling, before you choose a series. Check whether the published current is per pole or for the assembly, and how it derates above +30 °C on the CGR. For data, confirm the brush technology: silver brushes cover up to 12 Mbit/s, while gold-wire contacts are needed above that. On hazardous-area units, compare the exact Ex marking, group and category rather than the series name.

Global and UK presence

Conductix-Wampfler Ltd in Salford is the UK company; Conductix describes the site as a sales organisation and production plant and its global hub for stinger systems. The office pages do not publish telephone numbers, so UK engineers use the contact form or the local contact search on conductix.com. Other key sites include Weil am Rhein and Hanau in Germany and Omaha in the USA.

What to send when specifying a Conductix-Wampfler slip ring

Give the number of poles with current and voltage for each, earth and signal circuits, data protocol and rate, speed, mounting orientation, environment (temperature, IP, salt, condensation), any hazardous-area classification, and whether the ring sits inside a cable reel or needs fluid or fibre passages.

Specify Motion is independent of Conductix-Wampfler. Our engineers can help source Conductix-Wampfler slip ring products or propose equivalents from our supply network on published figures; see find a replacement or the slip rings hub.
