Model 130

Brushless Slip Ring

One Conductor,
30 Amp

The Mercotac® model 130 brushless slip ring is a compact, single-channel slip ring that is suitable for applications that require up to 30 Amps of current capacity. It is specifically designed for applications that require more current capacity than the model 110 or 110-T, but do not need the high 250-amp power of the model 1250. This slip ring is ideal for electroplating and welding uses, but can also be used in automation machinery, mineral processing and other applications

Connector options are noted above. They are not included with a 130 Mercotac purchase. Order the desired connector(s) separately.

Note: For attaching the wires, use a ring terminal with a hole large enough for a 5mm stud. Not currently offered. Purchase externally separately.

Model 130 Connections

Model 130 Standard Wire Connections

1. Threaded connection to rotating shaft.

2. Stationary end showing wire attached with a ring terminal.

Model 130 Wire Connections with Optional Boot Kit

1. Threaded connection to rotating shaft.

2. Stationary end showing optional boot kit.

3. Cutaway view.

Note: The metal receptacle used for mounting is electrically conductive. Therefore, if desired, it can be used as the electrical connection between the 110 and the rotating member of the machine using Part #5920. However, if an insulated mounting at the rotating member is being used, then Part #5921-S with six inch wire lead is used for the electrical connection.

Model 130 Suggested Mounting Methods

Mercotac Model 130 is typically mounted by the threaded stud on either end or by the black body using a set screw. When mounting horizontally, mount the Mercotac so the body of the connector rotates

Bottom Mount with Conductive Shaft

Preferred mounting orientation.

Top Mount with Conductive Shaft

Horizontal Mount with Conductive Shaft

Installation Notes:

  • The up arrow should not point below horizontal.
  • Do not solder to or bend terminals.
  • Avoid lateral forces and mechanical loads (overly stiff or tight wires).
  • Do not rigid mount both ends of the Mercotac.
  • Limit the mounting eccentricity (runout / wobble) to .005″ (.13mm).
  • Provide overload protection within the circuit.
  • Avoid vibration and bumping motions.
