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.

Excellent service! We faced Meridian with a difficult part to make and asked for perfection. 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. Although this was undoubtedly a frustrating project for all involved, they saw it through and proved Meridian Laboratory to be exactly the company we needed and want to work with in the future. Great work!

Adam and the crew at Meridian Laboratory were a pleasure to work with! Adam was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. … More A slipring was purchased through Adam for the use of a university engineering capstone project, he was eager to help and very nice throughout the entire process to ensure our needs were satisfied. The slipring shipped and delivered in a timely manner and once the unit was received, all expectations were exceeded. The fit and finish of the slipring was great, and it performed exactly as expected. I highly recommend Meridian Laboratory if you require the use of a slipring, as I cannot say enough good things about the team over there and their American made products

We contacted Adam Ellingson of Meridian Laboratory about acquiring a high-speed 3 channel ROTOCON slip-ring for our university … More capstone project. Mr. Ellingson was gracious enough to provide our team with a 6 channel slip-ring that performed excellent out of the box. The slip-ring assembly feels precisely machined and spins true with little mechanical resistance. It was the perfect product for testing our axial flux generator design and the extra channels came in handy. We appreciate the ease of mounting and excellent support from Mr. Ellingson.
