ROTOCON
Model MC high current rotary contacts are an innovative new concept. Unlike
conventional slip ring contacts, the MC uses Meridian Laboratory's proprietary
sealed design. Arcing, "make and break" electrical contact, friction, and the
resulting short operating life are all eliminated by using the MC. Welding,
plating, and other high current applications benefit with longer product life
and substantially reduced energy consumption. A typical slip ring contact can
lose 40% of its electrical efficiency due to unavoidable wear -- while the MC
continues working with greater than 95% efficiency! The MC's energy savings
alone make it an excellent investment. The MC can operate continuously at the
rated maximum current without auxillary cooling and is designed to handle 100%
current overloads (with some heat generation). The surprisingly small size of
the MC Series makes installation quick and easy. Tight seals and a corrosion
proof housing provide a long service life with zero maintenance.

| Specifications |
Mechanical
RPM: 0-1000
continuous.*
Mounting: Any end-of-shaft orientation is acceptable.
One end of the MC must have a flexible link to the equipment. Rigid connection
of both ends should be avoided.
Housing: Corrosion resistant
stainless steel.
General: Permanently lubricated bearings at both
ends. |
Electrical
Voltage: Any
voltage is acceptable with single contact MC.
Current: See table
above.
Frequency: DC or AC.
Stationary Contact
Resistance: One milliohm.
Rotating Contact Resistance: Same as
stationary resistance, no change with RPM. |
Environmental
Ambient Temperature: Not
to exceed 160°F (70°C), assuming minimal heat flow through shaft and
housing mounts. If machinery surfaces are hot, use insulated mounting
systems.
Relative Humidity: No effect. |
