      FAQs

      Common Custom Multi-Channel Slip Ring Questions

      Are ROTOCONs available for hazardous, dusty environments?

      Currently, we offer ATEX Ex II 2G db T6 Gb and IECEx Ex db IIC T6 Gb certified ROTOCON slip rings specifically designed for hazardous locations involving gas. For environments involving dust, please contact Meridian Laboratory for more information.

      What is the difference between ATEX / IECEx and Class/Division certifications and markings?

      ATEX, IECEx, and Class/Division certifications all address hazardous environments, but differ by region and classification method. ATEX is used in the EU and identifies zone-based classifications, while Class/Division (per NEC) is used in North America. Markings include specific gas group, temperature class, and protection level. While the correlations do not overlap exactly, here is a simple comparison between the various schemas.

      System Area Classification Protection Type Gas Group Temp Class
      North American Class 1, Division 1 Explosion Proof Group A (Hydrogen) T6 (≤85°C)
      ATEX Zone 1 Ex d IIC T6 (≤85°C)
      IECEx Zone 1 Ex db IIC T6 (≤85°C)

      How can I protect the cables from being damaged during pressure washing?

      We recommend using conduit, protective cable sleeves, or flexible stainless-steel cable armor to shield wires from direct spray and pressure. For wireline trucks or outdoor equipment exposed to pressure washing, proper sealing and wire routing are essential to extend the life and reliability of your ROTOCON. An additional precaution would be to avoid pressure washing the rotational gap between the shaft and body of the ROTOCON. Contact us for application-specific protection solutions.

      Can a ROTOCON be used in corrosive environments?

      Yes, ROTOCON rotary electrical connectors and rotary grounds are built with durable, industrial-grade materials, making them suitable for many challenging environments. Depending on the level of exposure to corrosive substances, a standard model may be sufficient for your application. Meridian Laboratory also offers upgrades to enhance ingress protection (IP rating) and chemical resistance. For extreme cases, Meridian Laboratory has the ability to deliver custom ROTOCONs to meet the challenging environmental requirements of your application. Contact us to discuss your project and find the best solution for your needs.

      Can a ROTOCON be used to transmit torque?

      ROTOCON brushless rotary electrical connectors are primarily designed as passive devices and are not typically intended to transmit torque or support mechanical loads. However, Meridian Laboratory does offer specialized ROTOCON models that can be engineered to deliver rotational torque through the shaft. If your application requires torque transmission, please contact us so we can ensure the appropriate design and configuration for your needs.

      Do you offer mating connectors?

      Yes, Meridian Laboratory can source and supply mating electrical connectors and other accessories for easy integration into systems.
