WHITE PAPER – The Importance of Contact Resistance in Slip Rings

Our engineers are regularly called upon to explain and demonstrate the importance of contact resistance, and the signal quality one can expect from a conventional brushed slip ring compared to a ROTOCON brushless slip ring.

Choosing the right slip ring is vital for ensuring reliable results, and delivering the lowest possible maintenance expenses. This dialogue usually begins with a simple but important client question: which device works best for my application? Based on our 55+ years of experience delivering thousands of slip ring solutions, we can help.

In this whitepaper we go over the basics of resistance, and what it means for your application.

    Meridian Laboratory has been able to deliver fantastic custom rollers for our application that requires great precision. … More To be able to get perfect parts on the first try, where other suppliers have struggled for more than a year, has been a huge relief for our business.

They took the challenge on … More and through repeated effort and determination, Vance and the team were able to get us the "perfect" product we needed.
