The VNM Slipring transforms your VNM Direct Drive base into a cleaner, more reliable system, allowing continuous wheel rotation with no tangled cables. It transmits power, signal and data between the fixed and rotating parts via USB Type-C.
Benefits
- Goodbye to tangled cables: turn the wheel freely without the cable twisting or straining.
- Cleaner, more “pro” assembly: discreet wiring in any cockpit.
- Stable signal and efficient connection between the fixed and rotating parts of the Direct Drive.
- More immersion, fewer interruptions: avoids disconnections from cable pulling or fatigue in long sessions.
Features
- Electromechanical rotary coupling: transmits power, signal and data.
- Integration with VNM Quick Release. Signal path: Wheel → VNM Quick Release → VNM Slipring → PC.
- Uses the front USB Type-C of the Direct Drive and guides it to the rear connection.
- Optimised for steering wheels without a screen (no reliance on high-speed USB).
Compatibility and requirements (read before buying)
- Recommended for “non-USB High-Speed 480 Mbps” wheels: on wheels with a display (e.g. certain VoCore-type displays) occasional disconnections may occur; VNM is improving this continuously.
- PC connection via the Slipring's USB-C: use the Slipring's own USB-C port as the wheel's direct connection to the PC.
- Front-mount thickness: must not exceed 10 mm; if it does, you'll need a spacer or a thinner USB-C connector.
- Third-party wheels: compatible using the VNM Quick Release (Wheel Side) and the Quick Release Wheel Side Extension Kit.
