SR10M/E512/X: ten-circuit end-of-shaft slip ring and encoder, 50.8 mm rotor
This end-of-shaft slip ring has ten gold alloy rings rated at 0.5 A, which carry strain gages, thermocouples, accelerometers and low voltages with a peak resistance variation of 0.1 Ω. Its optical encoder, of 256, 360, 500 or 512 pulses per revolution according to the model, measures speed, angle and direction of rotation without using any ring. Its stainless steel rotor has a 50.8 mm (2 in) flange with color-coded solder terminals, and its anodized aluminum stator a radial circular connector. It runs up to 10 000 rpm, from −40 to 85 °C.
On installation, the rotor flange is screwed to the end of the shaft. A rotation restraint is attached to the threaded holes of the stator. The encoder runs on 5 to 20 V DC, 100 mA, and gives A and B quadrature, index and A⊕B pulses of 0 to 5 V, with a maximum cumulative error of 0.25°. As an option, built-in electronics add tachometer outputs (T), a velocity voltage up to ±10 V and a position voltage up to +10 V, on 8 to 18 V DC.
It is used, for example, on a running engine’s crankshaft, where the encoder records crank speed and position while all the rings stay available for the strain channels.
SR20M/E512/X: 20-circuit end-of-shaft slip ring and encoder, 50.8 mm rotor
This end-of-shaft slip ring has 20 gold alloy rings rated at 0.5 A, which carry strain gages, thermocouples, accelerometers and low voltages with a peak resistance variation of 0.1 Ω. Its optical encoder, of 256, 360, 500 or 512 pulses per revolution according to the model, measures speed, angle and direction of rotation without using any ring. Its stainless steel rotor has a 50.8 mm (2 in) flange with color-coded solder terminals, and its anodized aluminum stator a radial Bendix PT02E-16-26P connector. It is 93 mm long, weighs 369 g and runs up to 4 000 rpm, from −40 to 85 °C.
On installation, the rotor flange is screwed to the end of the shaft with three 8-32 screws on a 43.18 mm (1.700 in) circle, and the sensor wires are soldered to the rotor terminals. A rotation restraint is attached to the threaded holes of the stator. The encoder runs on 5 to 20 V DC, 100 mA, and gives A and B quadrature, index and A⊕B pulses of 0 to 5 V, with a maximum cumulative error of 0.25°. As an option, built-in electronics add tachometer outputs (T), a velocity voltage up to ±10 V and a position voltage up to +10 V, on 8 to 18 V DC.
It is used, for example, on a gaged accessory belt pulley or a running engine’s crankshaft, where speed, angle and direction of rotation are recorded with the torque and strain signals.
SR36M/E512/X: 36-circuit end-of-shaft slip ring and encoder, 50.8 mm rotor
This end-of-shaft slip ring has 36 gold alloy rings rated at 0.5 A, which carry strain gages, thermocouples, accelerometers and low voltages with a peak resistance variation of 0.1 Ω. Its optical encoder, of 256, 360, 500 or 512 pulses per revolution according to the model, measures speed, angle and direction of rotation without using any ring. Its stainless steel rotor has a 50.8 mm (2 in) flange with color-coded solder terminals, and its anodized aluminum stator a radial Bendix JT02RE-16-35P connector. It is 115 mm long, weighs 369 g and runs up to 2 400 rpm, from −40 to 85 °C.
On installation, the rotor flange is screwed to the end of the shaft with three 8-32 screws on a 43.18 mm (1.700 in) circle, and the sensor wires are soldered to the rotor terminals. A rotation restraint is attached to the threaded holes of the stator. The encoder runs on 5 to 20 V DC, 100 mA, and gives A and B quadrature, index and A⊕B pulses of 0 to 5 V, with a maximum cumulative error of 0.25°. As an option, built-in electronics add either tachometer outputs (T), a velocity voltage up to ±10 V and a position voltage up to +10 V, on 8 to 18 V DC, or, with the 360 ppr encoder, resolver outputs (R), sine and cosine up to ±10 V.
It is used, for example, on a running engine’s crankshaft, where the encoder records crank speed and position while all 36 rings stay available for the strain channels.
