Re: Inexpensive Slip Ring for Turret

This is not to say that Mercotac parts are bad and are in fact used in a variety of applications. I talked to an application engineer at Mercotac and he told me that if temperature or current specs are exceeded, mercury could exit the part, albeit in very small quantities. This is one of those parts that is listed as "mercury wetted" as opposed to "mercury filled" contacts.
