Short S8: eight-circuit compact end-of-shaft slip ring
The Short S8 is the eight-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 eight 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 27.23 mm long and runs up to 12 000 rpm, from −1 to 138 °C; the Short S8/X weighs 64 g. A colder environment is specified when ordering.
It is ordered as Short S8/X, with a miniature 12-pin connector on the stator and one 3 m (10 ft) cable, or Short S8/T, with solder terminals on the stator. 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.
Short S8/X/D: eight circuits, stub rotor
The Short S8/X/D is an eight-circuit Short S slip ring whose rotor is a stub instead of the 41.28 mm flange, with the rotor wires leaving along the axis, as its outline drawing shows. The eight 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 stator carries a miniature 12-pin connector and comes with one 3 m (10 ft) cable. The part number guide explains the suffixes.
The stub is not mounted like the flange rotor of the other Short S models; its outline is shown in the configurator below. Ask us for the mounting of a stub rotor on your shaft.
It is primarily used on engines in vehicles, where space is limited and conditions are hot, fast and vibrating: see measurements in limited space.
Short S8/2G: eight circuits, two rotor-mounted strain gage amplifiers
The Short S8/2G combines an eight-circuit Short S slip ring with two strain gage amplifiers built into its rotor. The eight 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 is 41.28 mm (1.625 in) in diameter.
It is ordered as Short S8/T/2G5 or S8/X/2G5, with a 5 V bridge excitation, or Short S8/T/2G10 or S8/X/2G10, with 10 V; /T has solder terminals on the stator, /X a miniature 12-pin 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.
It takes strain gage signals off a rotating part where space is limited: see measurements in limited space.
Short S8/TC4: eight circuits, four rotor-mounted thermocouple amplifiers
The Short S8/TC4 combines an eight-circuit Short S slip ring with four thermocouple amplifiers built into its rotor, so the signals cross the rings as high-level voltages. The thermocouple leads, 30 AWG and 305 mm (12 in) long as standard, leave the rotor through colored bushings; other lengths can be specified. The eight stator connections carry the ±15 V DC supply, the ground, the signal low and the four amplified channels. With a 41.28 mm (1.625 in) rotor, it is 36.8 mm (1.45 in) long and runs up to 12 000 rpm.
It is ordered as Short S8/T/TC4K or S8/T/TC4T, with stator terminals, for type K or type T thermocouples; Short S8/X/TC4K, type K, with a miniature 12-pin connector and one 3 m (10 ft) cable; or Short S8/X/TC4KT, type K with a connector, where the rotor carries terminals in thermocouple material instead of pre-attached leads. 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.
Short S8M/X: eight circuits, 50.8 mm rotor
The Short S8M/X is an eight-circuit Short S slip ring with a 50.8 mm (2 in) rotor in place of the 41.28 mm rotor of the Short S8. Its eight 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. It is rated from −1 to 138 °C.
The stator carries a miniature 12-pin connector and comes with one 3 m (10 ft) cable. The part number guide explains the suffixes.
Its outline is shown in the configurator below. The stator is held by a tether on its tabs, a flexible cable or a soft spring.
