On-the-shaft data systems for rotating engine components

Two rotating data systems for engine component testing, which demonstrate the techniques of on-the-shaft microelectronic signal conditioning and rotary transformer power- and data-transfer, are described. These systems are a digital data system which provides 69 channels of 1100 C maximum thermocouple data with less than 0.5% error from a turbine test rig rotating at speeds up to 9000 rpm and an analog data system which amplifies and transfers 72 channels of dynamic strain data with less than 5% error from a compressor rig at speeds above 14,000 rpm.

Wide-range nuclear magnetic resonance detector

Compact and easy to use solid state nuclear magnetic resonance detector is designed for measuring field strength to 20 teslas in cryogenically cooled magnets. Extremely low noise and high sensitivity make detector applicable to nearly all types of analytical nuclear magnetic resonance measurements and can be used in high temperature and radiation environments.

On-the-shaft data systems for rotating engine components

Two rotating data systems for engine component testing which demonstrate the techniques of on-the-shaft microelectronic signal conditioning and rotary transformer power- and data-transfer are described. (1) A digital data system provides 69 channels of 1100 C maximum thermocouple data with less than 0.5 percent error from a turbine test rig rotating at speeds up to 9000 rpm. (2) An analog data system amplifies and transfers 72 channels of dynamic strain data with less than 5 percent error from a compressor rig at speeds above 14,000 rpm.

A 20 kHz power oscillator

Circuit providing stable sine wave power up to 10 W supplies small amounts of power at frequency other than 60 Hz. Circuit has Wien bridge oscillator which uses operational amplifier to feed power amplifier stage. Power amplifier stage uses booster amplifier and two discrete transistors for power output.

Data acquisition from high-speed rotating shafts

Data system, when used with a rotary transformer, results in increased life, negligible noise, and capability for a large number of data channels in testing rotating equipment. It is used to multiplex many channels of analog transducer output data and convert this signal to binary digital output.

Low-cost voltage-level detector

Integrated circuit senses when the voltage level has exceeded or is below a given reference level. The circuit, consisting of a differential amplifier, an SCR, and a pair of zener diodes, is useful for overload detection and monitoring power supplies.

Dual-voltage power supply has increased efficiency

Simple circuit provides two different dc output voltages from an ac source. It employs a full-wave rectifier connected to two passive branches from which the separate dc voltages are taken. The outputs have low ripple and good voltage regulation.
