ROTOCON MC Series

Innovative Maintenance Free Rotary Ground Clamp

Meridian Laboratory’s full lineup of single contact, high current rotary ground clamps provide a consistent, maintenance-free contact unaffected by RPM or total number of revolutions.  Contrary to conventional brushed rotary grounds, Meridian Laboratory’s MC & MCT Series are arc-free, do not have internal friction, and do not require greasing or any type of maintenance. All single contact, high current ROTOCON MC & MCT Series rotary grounds are built with environmentally sealed and corrosion proof housings to ensure a long service life without maintenance.

Suitable for all environments and applications including welding, electro-plating, cutting, and other high current industrial applications, the ROTOCON MC & MCT Series is designed to withstand 100% duty cycles in continuous manufacturing and production processes.  The ROTOCON’s brush-free design eliminates all issues such as maintaining brush contact, application of conductive greases, and the elevated contact resistance associated with conventional brushed rotary grounds. With the MC Series, you will achieve a more consistent ground, with zero noise or elevated contact resistance over time and revolutions.

Unlike conventional brushed slip rings which rely on metal on metal contacts and are limited by RPM, electrically noisy, and require adjustment and maintenance for proper operation,  all ROTOCONs are brushless, functioning through a molecularly bonded viscous metal film which remains unaffected by speed, provides clean and noise-free electrical signals, and requires zero maintenance.

The MC series is available both in end of shaft and through-bore configurations in a range of amperage levels, dependent on your needs.  For applications requiring high frequency and high current, Meridian Laboratory offers specialized versions to accommodate for temperature rise due to eddy currents.
