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 1250 Suggested Mounting Methods

Top Mount with Conductive Shaft

Bottom Mount with Conductive Shaft

Horizontal Mount with Conductive Shaft

Note: Low Torque models may only be operated vertically

Top Body Mount to Bushing

Note: The housing of the 1250 series Mercotac is electrically “hot” to the internal conductor.

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.
