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

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.
