Cable Gland or Connector for Rotating Assembly

Cable Gland or Connector for Rotating Assembly

Cable Gland or Connector for Rotating Assembly

(OP)
I am working on a project that involves a rotating table that will have 16 separate flexible heaters.  Each heater has 2 leads that need to be fed through the table and terminate at a controller.  
I need to find out if there is some sort of electrical connector that will allow me to pass these cables through it without having the cable twist and bind up when it makes more than a couple of rotations.

If anyone has used something like this or has seen it in a catalog I would greatly appreciate it.

Keyword "slip rings".

PS: It might be worthwhile installing the controller on the rotating table; fewer leads through the slip rings.

Or you could use a rotary transformer to couple both power and serial digital data.
