Common questions about Mercotac products, applications and rotary electrical connector selection.
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.
TME Systems supplies Mercotac rotary electrical connectors in Australia and can assist with selection and replacement enquiries.
Send through the circuit count, current, voltage, speed, mounting style and any environmental requirements. If you are replacing an existing unit, photos and part numbers are also useful.
