BGB - Experts at Engineering Smart Rotary Solutions

Established in 1976 as a manufacturer of carbon brush holders, the business progressed into the production of electrical slip rings during the 1980s. Whilst BGB continues to supply both brush holders and slip rings as standard component parts, today's core activity is the design and manufacture of specialised slip ring solutions.

The Company continues to develop slip ring technology in conjunction with global customers. Partnerships are formed through working closely with clients' design engineers and having the operational flexibility to meet their requirements.

Products and services for rotary applications include:

- Standard slip rings
- Standard brush holders
- Standard slip ring assemblies
- Design & manufacture of bespoke electrical slip ring assemblies to customer specification

BGB's fibre optic rotary joint (FORJ) is ideal for high speed data-transfer on many applications. Constructed in stainless steel, Optilinc has exceptional durability protecting the unit from dust and water ingress to IP65 and is not influenced by vibration, humidity, heat, magnetism or other typical disturbances.

The Optilinc system has been thoroughly developed in BGB's R&D Lab and is now being implemented by leading wind turbine manufacturers. The Fibre optic rotary joint (FORJ) can transfer data at a rate up to 1Gb/s and can be offered with media converters to suit protocols and requirements.
