The model
MXT Series of sealed rotary contacts is designed to expand the possible
mounting choices to include "thru-shaft" configurations. By permitting the
drive shaft to pass through the rotary contact, the MXT can be mounted between
existing machines without modification. Hydraulic and air lines can even pass
through the center. A wide range of standard shaft sizes makes the MXT
extremely adaptable. Like all other ROTOCON designs, the MXT can handle low
level control signals and power inputs in the same unit. Resistance,
capacitance, and electrical noise are all minimized with the ROTOCON sealed
design. The MXT series is commonly customized by Meridian Laboratory to fit
existing machinery and satisfy unique electrical requirements. The MXT is
generally recommended only when none of the end-of-shaft ROTOCON's can meet
your mechanical requirements. In these cases, the versatile MXT Series can
provide excellent electrical performance while also meeting strict mounting
space limitations. |

Note 1: Dimensions subject to change without notice. If
precise dimensions are required, contact Meridian Laboratory.
Note 2: Dimensions shown are for models with two
contacts. The overall length increases by 0.33 inches for each additional
contact. Note 3: The MXT models shown in the
table are representative sizes. Most installations require a specific
thru-shaft hole diameter and corresponding changes in overall dimensions.
Larger sizes than those shown are also available. Note 4: Thru-shaft size "D" can be any diameter less than 0.50
inches for the overall dimensions shown. |

Mechanical
RPM: Contact Meridian
Mounting: Any end-of-shaft orientation is acceptable.
Housing rotation is prevented by attaching a flexible restraint to the
housing's anti-rotation bolt (standard) or support ring (optional).
Housing: Corrosion resistant stainless steel. General:
Permanently lubricated bearings at both ends. |
Electrical
Voltage:
Microvolts to 460 Volts.
Current: Nanoamperes to 1000 Amps
Frequency: DC-100MHz. Stationary Contact Resistance: One
milliohm (excluding lead wires). 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. |
