Introduction

The T8 High-Speed End of Shaft Telemetry system is designed to quickly and effectively transmit type K thermocouple signals from a high-speed instrumented shaft. The signals are digitally transmitted with error checking via RF Telemetry, providing stable and accurate measurements free of drop-outs or signal spikes.

The T8’s compact, bearing free housing was specifically designed to minimize size and weight to allow for long term, high-speed testing. The system has no wear components and requires no periodic maintenance. The T-series has been proven at 24,000 rpm, and an upper speed limit has not been established.

The T-series is inductively powered. Install the Primary Inductive Coil 3 mm to 5 mm (approximately) away from the T8 unit and it will provide power to the rotating telemetry unit. The receiving antennas are connected to the telemetry receiver which provides ±10 V analog output for each channel. Other induction options are available upon request.
