Meridian Laboratory 's M-Series, MX-4-0601 brushless slip ring 's alternatives are available in different capacities capable of providing power and signals up to 100 contacts, and up to 35A/contact. Like all other ROTOCON rotating electrical contacts, the M-Series is designed to be able to accommodate signal/data level transmission as well as high current power transfer. Similarly, the M-Series remains unaffected by machine vibration or rotational speed, throughout its entire RPM range. The M-Series is offered in a variety of electrical termination options including ring terminals, flying leads, MIL-spec, or wet-mate connectors on both rotating and stationary ends.
