Inductive Head
The usual form of transmitter power supply when the air-gap between head and shaft will not exceed 20mm, is by inductive head type IH2 or type IL2/L (longer pole pieces) for large shaft diameters. The head induces electrical power into a single turn loop attached to the shaft surface. Increased air-gap to 30-40mm can be achieved by increasing the number of loop turns.
