PCB®Series 8179 & 8180 Single Channel Telemetry Systems provide a simple,
accurate method of conditioning and transmitting strain, thermocouple, voltage, or
ICP®signals on rotating or moving machinery while operating in a completely con-
between the moving and static component - no brushes or wires required. This
method guarantees an absolute maintenance-free continuous operation and accu-
rate transmission of measured data.
These Single Channel Telemetry Systems are compact in size and light weight
which allows for quick and easy installations in areas where space is at a premi-
um without affecting the dynamic properties of the shaft. Power transmission to
the rotor electronics and return signal transmission to the stator is accomplished
via a transmission band wrapped around the shaft and used as an antenna. The
flat antenna structure permits generous axial and radial clearance. Alternatively,
power can be derived from an on-shaft battery.
