The ROTOCON MXO is an
innovative design for ocean and harsh industrial applications. The
inherent quality and efficiency of this electrical contact makes MXO
superior to conventional slipring assemblies. Rotocon MXO Sealed
Rotary Contacts provide continuous, reliable rotary measurements.
Rotary applications include oceanographic instrumentation, oil well
logging and perforating circuits, thermocouples, thermistors, strain
gages, digital data systems, color video and general
instrumentation. Rotocon MXO can handle power and control in the
same unit, and operates in any orientation with end-of-shaft
mounting.

Rotocon MXO was
designed to provide better overall performance by reducing down time
and maintenance costs.

No special handling or
shipping precautions are necessary. Rotocon MXO Sealed Rotary
Contacts are adaptable to your existing rotary equipment.

CONSTRUCTION
Internal parts consist
of sealed rotary contacts. Double ball-bearings are sealed into a
non condensing, explosion proof, stainless steel housing with
hermetic connectors. MXO is submersible to any depth and is
unaffected by salt air environments and vibrations.

ENGINEERING
For applications
requiring special electrical, mechanical, or dimensional
specifications, Meridian Laboratory's Engineering Department will be
pleased to assist in supplying modified versions of the Rotocon MXO
Sealed Rotary Contacts.
