The large
sized Model MZ can handle more individual signals than
any other end-of-shaft ROTOCON. The one inch shaft diameter
dramatically increases the total number of
lead wires and the range of allowable gauges. Currents
from nanoamperes to 35 amperes can be carried with zero
induced noise and negligible resistance. 460
volts can be transmitted without arcing or distortion.
Vibration, dirty environments, and mounting arrangement
have no affect on the durable sealed
housing or the electrical performance. Standard or customized
MZ's can be the solution in situations where the problems
have been too big to
handle.

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 6 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 #12. Wires
can be connected in parallel for increased current capacity.

| 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 stainless
steel.
General: Permanently lubricated bearings at both
ends. |
Electrical
Voltage:
Microvolts to 460 volts.
Current: Nanoamperes to 35A
Max.
Wire Gauge: #12 (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. |
