Innovative, Maintenance-Free High Current Rotary Grounds
» Provides consistent low and stable resistance for high current applications
» Robust industrial design provides reliable long lasting performance
» Requires ZERO grease or routine maintenance
» Remains unaffected by RPM or total number of revolutions
Meridian Laboratory’s series of ROTOCON rotary grounds provide a stable, consistent, and maintenance-free, rotating electrical contact generally used for higher current applications.
ROTOCON rotary grounds are unaffected by instantaneous RPM (for high-speed applications) or the total number of revolutions – ROTOCON rotary grounds oftentimes surpass 500M (million) revolutions without a change in electrical resistance or maintenance/adjustment requirements.
Contrary to conventional brushed rotary grounds and clamps, ROTOCON ERG/MC Series are contactless, deliver stable and consistent current – eliminating fluctuations in current delivery and allowing for higher throughput with more consistency.
All high current ROTOCON rotary grounds are environmentally sealed with 304SS corrosion proof housings to ensure a long service life without maintenance, even in the most challenging manufacturing environments and chemical exposure.
They are also offered with options for RoHS compliance, if necessary.
Meridian Laboratory also offers customized rotary grounding solutions to meet your exact specification, see some examples of custom ROTOCON Rotary Grounds here.
