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.

I contacted Meridian Laboratory to obtain a slip ring for my Undergraduate Senior Capstone project. The project required … More a slip ring capable of highspeed data transfer with very little noise to drive an LED bar on a fan to generate images. Sven Krause was very knowledgeable and responsive and helped me figure out what product I needed. He even managed to get the slip ring donated to our team and had great advice on how to integrate it into our project. The project was a huge success thanks to Meridian Laboratory.

I found Meridian's polyurethane ML6 fit and finish to be superior to other rollers we had sourced in the past. The tolerances … More were very tight and eliminated a lot of the jamming issues we were experiencing from the OEM's parts. -
I searched for a proper rotary ground and never found anything that was high quality, priced right and reasonably sized until … More I found Meridian Laboratory. Adam from technical sales guided me through options and quickly zeroed into a solution that was perfect for us.
Communications were great for payment and shipping and the unit arrived as promised.
What I received it, it was like a jewel. High quality, perfect size and installed in minutes. The ground works flawlessly at any rotation.
I highly recommend Meridian Laboratory. We were able to install the rotary ground and simply forget it. It works that well.
