CUSTOM ENGINEERING

Meridian Laboratory has over 50 years of experience in delivering high performance slip ring assemblies to a wide variety of customers, industries and applications.  During this time, Meridian Laboratory has produced over 5,000 different designs to meet the demanding challenges of  custom slip ring requirements.  For most applications, Meridian Laboratory is able to modify one of their standard designs to meet your application requirements, however we also welcome even the most vigorous engineering challenges involving custom slip rings, custom slip ring assemblies and custom electrical slip rings.

Meridian Laboratory is your single source provider for slip ring, and fiber optic rotary joint or rotary union combinations.  Our engineers will work directly with you in designing, manufacturing, and testing custom slip ring solutions, even with volumes as low as one piece.

CUSTOM CAPABILITIES

Voltage: Up to 10,000V (multi-channel units)

Amperage: Up to 10,000A (single-channel), and 3,000A (multi-channel)

RPM: Up to 10,000 RPM

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

Wiring Options: Meridian Laboratories can integrate virtually any single or combination of wiring configurations in its ROTOCON custom slip rings.  Most standard ROTOCON units are specified with MIL-W-16878 nickel plated, stranded copper wire with Teflon insulation.  Depending on your application and specifications, we can accommodate the following wire/cable types:

  • Single stranded cables
  • Multi stranded cables
  • CAT5 / CAT5e / CAT6 / CAT6e cables
  • Coaxial cables
  • Heater (fiberglass shielded) cables
  • Strain gage cables
  • Shielded cables
  • Thermocouples wires (all types)

Mounting Options: Meridian Laboratory has various mechanical mounting styles available to best integrate with your design or fit with existing equipment, such as:

Termination Options: Meridian Laboratory offers different electrical termination options to best fit your application or usage requirements.  We offer standard, but are not limited to:
