Page 7: Introduction
The ROTOCON UHS Series provides a low transfer resistance and a high insulation resistance. They also significantly reduce the EMF noise generated at the cell connections. These brushless slip rings are therefore arc-free, making them superior to all other slip rings that use rings, brushes, wire loops and similar devices. - Page 8 2415 Pleasant View Rd. Middleton, WI 53562 The slip ring produces a small EMF at high-speeds. To avoid increasing the EMF it is necessary to prevent the rotating part from overheating the slip ring. Increasing the EMF can cause the vaporization of mercury within the cells.
