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

The Short S10 is the ten-circuit model of the Short S-Series. It mounts on a shaft end and carries strain gages, thermocouples, accelerometers and low voltages from rotor to stator. Its ten circuits are rated at 500 mA through precious metal rings and brushes, with a peak resistance variation of 0.1 Ω, and the stainless steel and aluminum case is sealed against dust. The rotor, 41.28 mm (1.625 in) in diameter, carries color-coded solder terminals. The Short S10/X is 29.77 mm long, weighs 65 g and runs up to 12 000 rpm, from −1 to 138 °C. A colder environment is specified when ordering.

It is ordered as Short S10/X, with a miniature 12-pin connector (3/8-24 thread) on the stator and one 3 m (10 ft) cable; Short S10/T, with stator terminals; or Short S10/CT, with stator terminals and a cable clamp. The part number guide explains the suffixes.

The rotor is fixed to the shaft end with two 4-40 or M2.5 screws on a 36.45 mm (1.435 in) bolt circle, directly or through a rotor adapter, with a total indicated runout of no more than 0.025 mm (0.001 in). Stranded wires of 28 or 30 AWG, 24 AWG at most, run along the shaft or through its bore and are secured to it before being soldered to the rotor terminals. The S-Series user manual describes the mounting. The stator is held by a tether on its tabs, a flexible cable or a soft spring.

It is primarily used on engines in vehicles, where space is limited and conditions are hot, fast and vibrating: see measurements in limited space.
