[PSUBS-MAILIST] MK-101 Connectors

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

David,
I am a few emails behind here, but that is exactly the solution I was thinking of.
One problem I envisaged with the short shaft section that comes out of the motor,
is how do you attach the wires. Connections can get pretty bulky especially after
insulating them. You can't stuff excess wire down in to the motor. Also you would
have to have room to twist the wires in the opposite direction to that of the connector 
prior to screwing in the connector. I am not sure if it is easy to pull the motor apart & 
attach the wires from a connector straight to the motor. 
The blue globe cable gland have an adaptor that you can screw the blue globes
in to. If you used an adaptor you would create more room for pulling the wire
connections through.
If as I had suggested earlier, we had taylor made connectors with fittings on both
ends, it could be problematic with large holes being bored through exostructure
to get from hull to motor. I am thinking of situations like the R300 where the cable
may need to penetrate a ballast tank.

Hi Jon, I am having a short shaft machined to screw into the Mk treads, with a hollow bore, and a series of side taps that will be be used for temp sensors, and for compensating (oil or air not chosen yet). The mk wires will be attached to the end of the outlet side of the subcon connector and threaded thru a blueglobe seal. creating a pig tail assembly. I am not using the Mk shaft as the attachment point for the thrusters as I have a kort nozzle assembly for attachment to the sub body. Designed for ease of removal and bench inspection and optional compensation after future testing with the sensors on heat build up.
