The ROTOCON MXO is an innovative design for ocean and harsh industrial applications. The inherent quality and efficiency of this electrical contact makes MXO superior to conventional slipring assemblies. Rotocon MXO Sealed Rotary Contacts provide continuous, reliable rotary measurements. Rotary applications include oceanographic instrumentation, oil well logging and perforating circuits, thermocouples, thermistors, strain gages, digital data systems, color video and general instrumentation. Rotocon MXO can handle power and control in the same unit, and operates in any orientation with end-of-shaft mounting.

Rotocon MXO was designed to provide better overall performance by reducing down time and maintenance costs.

No special handling or shipping precautions are necessary. Rotocon MXO Sealed Rotary Contacts are adaptable to your existing rotary equipment.

CONSTRUCTION
Internal parts consist of sealed rotary contacts. Double ball-bearings are sealed into a non condensing, explosion proof, stainless steel housing with hermetic connectors. MXO is submersible to any depth and is unaffected by salt air environments and vibrations.

ENGINEERING
For applications requiring special electrical, mechanical, or dimensional specifications, Meridian Laboratory's Engineering Department will be pleased to assist in supplying modified versions of the Rotocon MXO Sealed Rotary Contacts.
