Slip rings need continual maintenance to avoid degradation of the rotating electrical connection caused by normal wear and debris. When you replace conventional slip rings with Mercotac's no-maintenance rotating electrical connectors, you will profit from the following SUPERIOR BENEFITS:

• Increased reliability
• Extremely low electrical noise
• LESS than 1 milliohm resistance
• Sealed ball bearing construction
• Durable, compact and low cost
• In stock availability
• Long life
• Made in U.S.A.

THE UNIQUE DESIGN OF A MERCOTAC^® CONNECTOR:
Mercotac^® rotating connectors use a unique design principle unlike the sliding, brush contact of a slip ring. The connection is made through a pool of liquid metal molecularly bonded to the contact, which provides a low-resistance, stable connection. During rotation the fluid maintains the electrical connection between the contacts without any wear.

The following are among the many reasons why Mercotac^® connectors are superior to slip rings. First, unlike a slip ring, Mercotac^® connectors produce near zero electrical noise due to their unique design. Second, resistance through the rotating contact is less than one milliohm, which is much lower than the resistance of a slip ring. Third, Mercotac^® connectors do not degrade the signal over time, which does happen with slip rings. Fourth, slip rings require maintenance and Mercotac^® connectors are maintenance free. Fifth, Mercotac^® connectors are more compact and cost far less than slip rings of equal capacity. Sixth, both current power and instrumentation signals can be sent through a single, compact Mercotac^® connector.
