Model MXP is the high current version of the popular MX rotary contact series. Thousands of amperes can be handled by the unique sealed design. For applications like rotary turntable molding machines, conventional slip ring contacts suffer from arcing, friction, and the inevitable degradation of electrical performance. The MXP, on the other hand, operates continuously at 95% energy efficiency with no arcing or breaks in the efficient flow of power. This improves product quality and eliminates costly maintenance expenses. The MXP is the ideal choice for a high power, multiple circuit, rotary contact assembly.

Specifications
Mechanical

RPM: 0-1000 continuous. *
Mounting: Any end-of-shaft orientation is acceptable. Either the shaft or the housing must have a flexible link to the supporting structure. Housing rotation is prevented by an anti-rotation bolt (standard) or support ring (optional).
Housing: Corrosion resistant steel.
Connections: Brass studs.
General: Permanently lubricated bearings at both ends.
Electrical

Voltage: Microvolts to 460+ volts (higher voltage units available).
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.

* Please contact Meridian Laboratory for precise ratings
