B7-T-1.2W: weatherproof tubular slip ring for 30 mm half shafts

The B7-T-1.2W is a weatherproof tubular slip ring for automotive half shafts with a 30 mm (1.200 in) bore as standard, and a 36 mm (1.418 in) bore as a special option. It was designed for long-term, all-weather (not submersible) torque measurements, and the sealing system protects against water spray, grit, dust, mud, slush and snow. Seven circuits rated at 1 A connect strain gages, thermocouples and other sensors. It is Ø 83.5 mm (3.285 in) by 60.3 mm (2.375 in) wide and weighs 1.0 kg; a light-weight aluminum model weighs 0.7 kg. The rating is 3,500 rpm, from −40 to 149 °C, with a maximum peak noise of 0.1 Ω.

The sensor wires go to seven color-coded solder terminals on the rotor, and four #8 set screws fasten it on the shaft. Each assembly includes a 15 ft (4.6 m) stator cable with a protective rubber boot for the connector at the slip ring. The B7-T-1.2W/E60 version adds an encoder that produces a 60 pulse-per-revolution, 5 V, TTL-compatible square wave from a Hall-effect sensor, so speed is determined down to 0 mph; it is driven from 5.5 to 45 V DC and operates from −40 to 149 °C. A strain gage amplifier is also optional.

It is used for long-term half shaft torque measurement in all weather. For a smaller diameter, Ø 75.0 mm, on 31.5 mm half shafts, see the B7-1.24W.
