rotary union
Explanation:
Hi Michael
A device for transferring fluid from a static system to a rotating system is usually referred to as a "rotary union". On the contrary, if the system is designed to transfer electrical signals or power, it is called a "slip ring". Plenty of information on the web for these two terms.
Cheers
