Installation of the SCT on a Rotating Device
After the sensors have been connected to the SCT, it can be fastened to the rotating device.
Figure 36: Shaft with SCT
When attaching the SCT, make sure that it is supported on the shaft. If necessary, a suitable
substructure must be constructed.
The attachment can be carried out via a constructive solution. The simplest solution is
attaching with two belt straps, which are adapted to the occurring centrifugal forces.
When mounting the SCT at high speeds and large shaft diameters, CAEMAX offers axial and
radial SCT housings designed for higher centrifugal forces.
Make sure the connections remain free of tensions during operation. Mechanical tensions on
the soldering points may lead to system failure.
Connect the SCT to a power source. The SCT will start operating as soon as it is supplied
with power. To connect a power source, see section 2.2. If you are using a ring stator or a
stator head for inductive power supply, see section 5.4.
Please note:
To check for sufficient power supply, measure the input current of the strain
gauges (see section 2.2). When power supply is sufficient, output voltage is 4.096 ± 0.1
Volts.
