SR10MW/E512/X: weatherproof 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. Contacting rotary seals make it completely weatherproof. 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 2 000 rpm, from −40 to 85 °C.

On installation, the rotor flange is screwed to the end of the shaft. Connector plugs are sealed at the rear with RTV silicone or a sealing backshell, whose tube can hold the stator against a wheel-well bracket. 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 in wet-weather applications such as automotive wheels, which mostly stay within 2 000 rpm; on torque wheels, the tachometer outputs are normally set to 10 V at 1 000 or 1 800 rpm.
