OVERVIEW

Contactless High Voltage Slip Rings Without Brush Wear and Arcing

  • Available with up to 14 channels and up to 3,500V (standard) and 10kV+ (custom)
  • ROTOCON technology provides a sealed, arc-free rotating electrical contact without wear parts
  • Combine high voltage and low voltage signal within the same assembly

ROTOCON high voltage slip rings are available with up to 14 electrical channels and standard voltage configurations of 1500V, 2500V, and 3,500V. Meridian Laboratory also offers custom, high voltage slip rings for voltage potentials up to 10kV. All ROTOCON high voltage slip rings are designed to handle low voltage signals in addition to high voltage lines, with strong insulation resistance between channels.

ROTOCON high voltage slip rings are commonly used on wireline logging and measurement, ultrasonic welding and etching, x-rays, cable reels for pipe inspection, and other applications where the need for a reliable rotating electrical connector is integral to the machine’s function.

All ROTOCON high voltage slip rings are inherently arc-free by design, while providing low and stable electrical resistance. They are environmentally sealed and use robust materials making them the ideal choice for manufacturing and production applications, providing long-lasting performance without the downtime and routine maintenance associated with conventional, metal-on-metal slip rings.

For wireline specific applications, please see our Wireline Series of ROTOCON slip rings. Additionally, for applications which are less than 600 volts, please see our Multi-Channel MX-Series Slip Rings for more information.

Advantages

Why choose ROTOCON High Voltage Slip Rings?

BRUSHLESS SLIP RING TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

ROTOCON high voltage slip rings are brushless by design, functioning through a molecularly bonded, liquid metal film contact to transfer electrical power and signal. ROTOCON high voltage rotating electrical connectors introduce near-zero electrical resistance while stationary, or during rotation – regardless of rotational speed, or total number of revolutions.

  • NEAR-ZERO ELECTRICAL NOISE, STATIONARY OR ROTATING
  • HIGH SPEED CAPABLE WITHOUT FLUCTUATION IN ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE
  • NO INTERNAL WEAR PARTS

MAINTENANCE FREE, HIGH VOLTAGE SLIP RINGS

Conventional, brushed slip rings rely on metal-on-metal contact to transfer power between stationary and rotating components. ROTOCON high voltage slip rings and 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
  • FREQUENTLY SURPASSES 500M+ REVOLUTIONS

PERFECT SLIP RING SIGNAL INTEGRITY, STATIONARY OR ROTATING

ROTOCON brushless slip rings 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

ENVIRONMENTALLY SEALED SLIP RINGS PROVIDE SAFE AND LONG LASTING OPERATION

ROTOCON high voltage slip rings 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
