Model MY is the mid-sized, end-of-shaft ROTOCON design. By increasing the shaft diameter up to ¾ inch ( allowing more lead wires to be installed) the MY can contain over twice as many contacts as the model MX. Like the other ROTOCON models, the MY is highly resistant to environmental conditions due to its corrosion proof, sealed design. Low resistance, capacitance, and zero induced noise make the MY ideal for transmitting large numbers of low level signals. Low voltage control signals and high power supply lines can be combined on different contacts in the same unit. Machine vibration and mounting orientation have no effect on the MY's electrical performance. As with all standard ROTOCON models, the MY can be customized to suit your specific electrical and mechanical requirements.

Model MY example sizes; units containing more contacts are also available.

Model No. No. Of Contacts A (in.) Weight (oz.)
MY-2 2 2.72 1.25
MY-4 4 3.38 1.75
MY-6 6 4.04 2.3
MY-8 8 4.70 2.8
MY-10 10 5.36 3.4
MY-12 12 6.10 3.9

Note 1: Dimensions subject to change without notice. If precise dimensions are required, contact Meridian Laboratory.
Note 2: Add 0.33 inches to length "A" and 4 ounces to the weight for each additional contact.
Note 3: Odd numbers of contacts are available.
Note 4: The maximum allowable number of contacts is dependent on the size and type of wire needed to meet your requirements (Teflon insulated, thermocouple leads, coaxial cable, twisted shielded pairs, or any combination of these). The maximum teflon insulated wire gauge is #14. Wires can be connected in parallel for increased current capacity.

Specifications
Mechanical

RPM: 0 - 2000 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.
General: Permanently lubricated bearings at both ends.
Electrical

Voltage: Microvolts to 460 volts.
Current: Nanoamperes to 30A.
Max. Wire Gauge: #14 (MIL-W-16878 nickel plated, stranded copper wire with Teflon insulation). See Note 4 above.
Frequency: DC-100MHz.
Stationary Contract 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.
