Australian supply and support for Mercotac mercury-wetted rotary electrical connectors, ideal for low resistance, low electrical noise and compact rotating power and signal applications.
View Mercotac Range Contact TME SystemsMercotac products are a specialist alternative to conventional brush slip rings. Instead of relying on sliding brush contacts, Mercotac connectors use a mercury-wetted conduction path to provide a very stable electrical connection through continuous rotation.
That makes Mercotac especially useful where low contact resistance, low electrical noise and compact size are important. Typical applications include packaging machinery, rotary tables, test equipment, laboratory instruments, cable winding equipment, automated production systems and other rotating assemblies.
TME Systems supplies Mercotac rotary electrical connectors throughout Australia and New Zealand and can assist with model selection, replacement units and application suitability.
This site is focused on Mercotac products and applications. TME Systems also supports selected related manufacturers where a different slip ring technology is a better fit.

Suitable for applications where consistent resistance through rotation is important.
Mercotac units are often chosen where space is limited but reliable rotary connection is still required.
No conventional brush contact means reduced mechanical wear in suitable applications.
Common applications where Mercotac products may be considered.
Reliable power and signal transfer through rotating sealing, filling and indexing equipment.
Compact connection for power, sensors and control circuits on rotating fixtures.
Low-noise rotary connection for test and measurement systems.
Continuous electrical connection through rotating reels and winders.
Power and control signal transfer in rotating machine assemblies.
Rotating electrical connection where compact size and stable signals matter.
A Mercotac connector is a mercury-wetted rotary electrical connector used to transfer power or signals through rotation with low resistance and low electrical noise.
Conventional slip rings use sliding brushes. Mercotac products use a liquid metal contact path, which can reduce contact noise and wear in suitable applications.
Mercotac connectors are commonly used in packaging machinery, rotary tables, laboratory instruments, test equipment, cable winders and automated machinery.
Yes. The correct model depends on circuit count, current, voltage, signal type and operating conditions.
No. Environmental conditions, orientation, safety requirements and regulatory restrictions must be considered. TME Systems can help check suitability.
