S10: ten-circuit end-of-shaft slip ring

The S10 is an end-of-shaft slip ring with ten circuits rated at 500 mA. It mounts on the free end of a rotating shaft and carries strain gages, thermocouples, RTDs, accelerometers and low voltages from rotor to stator. Precious metal rings and brushes limit the contact resistance variation to 0.1 Ω peak. The stainless steel case is sealed against dust, the bearings are lubricated for life, and color-coded solder terminals sit on both rotor and stator. With a 41.28 mm rotor, it is 38 mm long and weighs 119 g; it runs up to 12 000 rpm, from −40 to 121 °C, and a low-temperature lubricant is available below −18 °C. It is also the base of the S10M/V and of the LHV versions S10/LHV and S10/LHV/TC6.

The rotor flange is mounted concentric and perpendicular to the shaft, on a machined shaft end or a rotor adapter, within 0.025 mm (0.001 in) of axial and radial runout. The stator is held by a flexible restraint, the S-Series restraint kit (up to 112 °C) or a worm gear clamp with a spring, never by its wires. Stranded wires, 28 or 30 AWG (24 AWG at most), run along or through the shaft and are secured to it before being soldered to the rotor terminals.

The S-Series is used, for example, on the end of a deep-bore gaged truck axle, on electric motor shafts for rotor temperature, or on gaged pulleys and gears.
