Conventional brushed slip rings rely on metal-on-metal contact to transfer power between stationary and rotating components. ROTOCON brushless rotating electrical connectors do not have any internal wear parts, and therefore do not require any maintenance, adjustment, or replacement of parts during the lifetime of their use.

• NO METAL-ON-METAL CONTACT
• 100% MAINTENANCE-FREE
• OUTLAST TRADITIONAL, BRUSHED SLIP RINGS
• ROUTINELY SURPASS 500M+ TOTAL REVOLUTIONS

ROTOCON brushless slip rings and rotating electrical connectors transmit high-speed Ethernet based communication up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) reliably and without bit errors, packet loss, or crosstalk. They are also capable of many other communication protocols including Etherlink, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Profibus, Modbus TCP/IP, Powerlink, CC-Link IE, SERCOS III, SynqNet, MECHATROLINK-III, ControlNet, RS485, RS432, RS422, EtherCAT, and more.

• GUARANTEED ETHERNET TRANSMISSION WITHOUT BIT ERRORS OR CROSSTALK
• HIGH SPEED CAPABLE UP TO 1GBPS
• COMPATIBLE WITH MANY OTHER DIGITAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS

ROTOCON brushless slip rings and rotating electrical connectors are unique in their ability to provide excellent analog signal transmission, without fluctuation or noise – whether stationary or while rotating. They are the ideal choice for sensitive electrical signals such as encoders, thermocouples, strain gauges, and more.

• PERFECT SIGNAL INTEGRITY – REGARDLESS OF SPEED
• NEAR ZERO ELECTRICAL NOISE
• EXCELLENT FOR ANALOG SIGNAL TRANSMISSION

ROTOCON brushless slip rings and rotating electrical connectors are environmentally sealed to provide a superior rotating electrical connection. They are sealed from the outside environment and remain unaffected by dust and liquids, as well as humidity and other environmental factors that conventional, brushed slip rings are challenged by. They are internally arc-free, making them the ideal choice for wet, dust-filled, clean rooms and other challenging operating environments.

• ENVIRONMENTALLY SEALED DESIGN
• UNAFFECTED BY LIQUIDS, DUST, AND OTHER FACTORS
• ROBUST DESIGN FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS

ROTOCON brushless slip rings and rotating electrical connectors are modular by design and are able to be configured in quick and cost efficient ways to meet your exact needs. A variety of mechanical mounting and electrical termination options are offered to make for the most optimized slip ring for your unique application. Meridian Laboratory also offers additional rotating accessories such as fiber optic rotary joints, rotary unions, encoders, and more to integrate with ROTOCON brushless slip rings.

• MODULAR DESIGN ALLOWS FOR SIMPLE AND FAST CUSTOMIZATIONS
• WIDE VARIETY OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL OPTIONS
• INTEGRATABLE WITH FIBER OPTIC ROTARY JOINTS, ROTARY UNIONS, ENCODERS, AND MORE

Traditional slip rings struggle to accommodate power and signal within a single assembly, and suffer from noise and interference. The unique design of ROTOCON brushless slip rings and rotary electrical connectors allows for lossless signal without electrical interference during operation.

• AC/DC power and signals compatible within the same assembly
• Reliable Ethernet, encoder, strain gauge, and other sensitive signals
• Zero noise or dynamic contact resistance introduced into your system
