ROTOCON High-Performance Brushless Slip Ring Solutions

» Provides brush-free design requiring no user maintenance» Delivers clean electrical signal for both power & data, with no measurable noise
» Robust industrial design provides reliable long lasting performance » Remains unaffected by machine vibration or rotational speed

Meridian Laboratory’s M-Series, end of shaft slip ring alternatives are available in different capacities capable of providing power and signals up to 100 contacts, and up to 35A/contact.

Like all other ROTOCON rotating electrical contacts, the M-Series is designed to be able to accommodate signal/data level transmission (see full list below) as well as high current power transfer.  Similarly, the ROTOCON M-Series remains unaffected by machine vibration or rotational speed, throughout its entire RPM range. The ROTOCON M-Series is offered in a variety of electrical termination options, including ring terminals, flying leads, MIL-spec, or wet-mate connectors on both rotating and stationary ends.
