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.

We are designing and building some custom welding fixture that have rotation invloved. We needed a good way to connect the … More grounding clamp to the part and allow full tilt and rotation. Speaking with Adam Ellingson at Meridian Laboratory, these Rotocon ERG-400 amp series were exactly what we needed and in stock. They shipped quickly and once received we could tell they were of very high quality. These worked flawlessly and I will definitely be back for more!
