Short S6: six-circuit compact end-of-shaft slip ring
The Short S6 is the six-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 six 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. It is 24.69 mm long and runs up to 12 000 rpm, from −1 to 138 °C; the Short S6/X weighs 61 g, the Short S6/T 56 g. A colder environment is specified when ordering.
It is ordered as Short S6/X, with a connector on the stator and one 3 m (10 ft) cable; Short S6/T, with six solder terminals on the stator; or Short S6/T/N7, with stator terminals and the rotor wires leaving through the rotor flange. 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 and accessory belt pulley torque.
Short S6/G: six circuits, one rotor-mounted strain gage amplifier
The Short S6/G combines the Short S6 slip ring with a precision strain gage amplifier built into its rotor, for one bridge. It supplies a low-drift excitation to bridges of 350 Ω and above, with a gain of 100 to 2 000 V/V and an output of ±10 V. With a 41.28 mm (1.625 in) rotor, it is 28.2 mm long, weighs 64 g and runs up to 12 000 rpm, from −40 to 85 °C.
It is ordered as Short S6/T/G5 or S6/X/G5, with a 5 V bridge excitation, or Short S6/T/G10 or S6/X/G10, with 10 V; /T has solder terminals on the stator, /X a connector and one 3 m (10 ft) cable. 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). The stator is held by a tether on its tabs, a flexible cable or a soft spring. The amplifier, sensitive to electrostatic discharge, is soldered at a protected workstation; a full bridge is wired to its rotor terminals, and the gain and shunt calibration resistance are set by shorting terminals or with a resistor. It is powered with ±15 V DC and a common.
It takes a strain gage signal off a rotating part where space is limited: see measurements in limited space.
Short S6/TC3: six circuits, three rotor-mounted thermocouple amplifiers
The Short S6/TC3 combines a six-circuit Short S slip ring with three thermocouple amplifiers built into its rotor, so the signals cross the rings as high-level voltages. The thermocouple leads, in 24 AWG stranded wire and 305 mm (12 in) long as standard, leave the rotor through yellow, orange and brown bushings; other lengths can be specified. The six stator connections carry the ±15 V DC supply, the common and the three amplified channels. With a 41.28 mm (1.625 in) rotor, it is 28.7 mm long and runs up to 12 000 rpm.
The last letter of the reference gives the thermocouple type: Short S6/T/TC3K and S6/X/TC3K for type K, Short S6/T/TC3T and S6/X/TC3T for type T. /T has solder terminals on the stator, /X a miniature 7-pin connector and one 3 m (10 ft) cable. Terminals in thermocouple material on the rotor, instead of the leads, are a higher-cost alternative: add T at the end of the reference, as in Short S6/T/TC3KT. 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). The stator is held by a tether on its tabs, a flexible cable or a soft spring. The amplifiers are powered with ±15 V DC through the slip ring.
It takes thermocouple temperatures off a rotating part where space is limited: see temperature on rotating components and measurements in limited space.
