ROTOCON® ERG-3000 Model Specifications

»  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

The ROTOCON rotary ground model ERG-3000 is rated to 3,000 amps of continuous current without fluctuation or downtime.  It features flanges on both ends to mount to a workpiece, and connect bus-bars or cable lugs to.

All high current ERG Series rotary grounds by Meridian Laboratory provides the perfect ground for rotational welding, plating, polishing, and other high-current applications that require rotation. Designed to withstand 100% duty cycles in continuous manufacturing and production processes, without interruption or downtime.

Contrary to conventional brushed rotary grounds, Meridian Laboratory’s ERG Series of rotary grounds are arc-free, do not have internal friction, and do not require greasing or any type of maintenance. All ROTOCON rotary grounds are built environmentally sealed, and with 304 Stainless Steel corrosion resistant housings to ensure a long service life, even in the most challenging manufacturing environments and chemical exposure.

For applications requiring a through-bore, the ROTOCON ERGT Series electrical rotary grounds are listed in the chart below.
