ROTOCON ROTARY ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS OUTPERFORM CONVENTIONAL SLIP RINGS

LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW ROTOCON TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP SOLVE YOUR COMPLEX PROBLEMS

SIGNALS: clean, noise-free TRANSMISSION

  • PERFECTLY CLEAN SIGNAL
  • ZERO NOISE – FROM MILLIVOLTS TO KILIVOLTS
  • UNBEATABLE SIGNAL QUALITY – ANALOG AND DIGITAL ALIKE

If you are looking for a perfectly clean signal, zero noise, signal, or data link between rotating and stationary, Meridian Laboratory’s ROTOCON platform utilizes a sealed contact system that is brushless and provides the cleanest electrical signal available in any rotary electrical contact solution, for both power and data signals.

Washdown Slip Ring

Industrial Grade – Sealed Contact System

  • ENVIRONMENTALLY-SEALED CONTACTS: UNAFFECTED BY LIQUIDS, DUST, HUMIDITY, AND MORE
  • LONGER UNIT LIFE: BRUSHLESS TECHNOLOGY, FREE OF BRUSH-WEAR
  • DESIGNED FOR CONTINUOUS USE APPLICATIONS

ROTOCON rotary electrical connectors are ideal for heavy-duty, continuous use in industrial and harsh environments.  ROTOCON rotary electrical connectors are engineered to last, operating uninterrupted and without maintenance.

POWER: STABLE AND CONSISTENT CURRENT DELIVERY

  • LOW CONTACT RESISTANCE: STEADY CURRENT DELIVERY WITHOUT FLUCTUATION
  • ARC-FREE DESIGN: ELIMINATE ARCING POSSIBILITIES ENTIRELY WITH SEALED CONTACT DESIGN
  • ZERO MAINTENANCE: REQUIRES ZERO GREASE, ADJUSTMENT, OR REPLACEMENT OF ANY TYPE

For electrical power transmission, ROTOCON technology delivers steady, stable, and uninterrupted current flow for low, medium, and high current applications alike.  Contact resistance is guaranteed to below, providing an efficient and stable connection for current between rotating and stationary sources.

Traditional brushed slip ring with burnt rings

Brush Free = Maintenance Free

  • UNLIKE TRADITIONAL SLIP RINGS, ALL ROTOCONS ARE BRUSHLESS
  • ENVIRONMENTALLY SEALED
  • LONGER LIFE WITH ZERO MAINTENANCE

The environmentally sealed design of a ROTOCON protects internal connections from outside contaminants. The brushless contact design eliminates contact wear, dust, and maintenance – and gives you a much longer duty cycle than a traditional slip ring.

ETHERNET / DATA: FAST AND RELIABLE TRANSMISSION

  • FAST AND RELIABLE ETHERNET TRANSMISSION (10/100/1000)
  • FLAWLESS COMMUNICATION WITH MANY INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS (ETHERLINK, LAPPNET, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, CONTROLNET, DEVICENET, CAN-BUS, RS485, RS432, USB (1.0/2.0), MODBUS, ETHERCAT, CC-LINK, COAX, AND MORE)

ROTOCONs can support 10/100/1000 Base-T (Mbps) Ethernet reliably without packet loss, bit error, sync loss, and other things that conventional slip rings cannot guarantee.

Wireline Slip Ring

Thrives in Harsh Environments

  • SUBMERSIBLE
  • WITHSTANDS HIGH PRESSURE
  • CORROSION RESISTANT

The ROTOCON platform can be upgraded to withstand exposure to moisture and humidity, as well as operate reliably in high-pressure underwater environments. All ROTOCONs are made of corrosion resistant stainless steel.

Custom Rotary Electrical Connectors

CUSTOMIZABLE TO MEET YOUR EXACT NEEDS

  • OVER 350 STANDARDIZED DESIGNS WITH ABUNDANCE OF CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
  • LOW VOLUME PROTOTYPES TO PRODUCTION VOLUMES
  • 100% ENGINEERED, MANUFACTURED, TESTED, AND SUPPORTED IN THE USA

The ROTOCON platform is engineered by design to be easily customized to meet your application’s exact needs. Including, but not limited to mounting, electrical terminations, wire types, environment, and more – we have the ability to cost-efficiently customize standard designs, or design and deliver complete custom solutions from the ground up.
