Abstract
A system for attaching a device to a rotating shaft is provided herein. The system may include one or more intermediate members positioned about the device. The system also may include a restraining strap configured to apply a restraining force to at least one of the one or more intermediate members to secure the one or more intermediate members to the rotating shaft. The one or more intermediate members may be configured to at least partially avert and/or disperse the restraining force of the restraining strap away from the device.
Claims6
A system, comprising:
- a rotating shaft;
- a telemetry transmitter positioned about the rotating shaft;
- one or more intermediate members positioned about the telemetry transmitter;
- and
- a restraining strap configured to apply a restraining force to at least one of the one or more intermediate members to secure the one or more intermediate members to the rotating shaft, wherein the one or more intermediate members are configured to at least partially avert and/or disperse the restraining force of the restraining strap away from the telemetry transmitter, wherein the one or more intermediate members comprise a bridge-like structure, wherein the telemetry transmitter is trapped between the bridge-like structure and the rotating shaft, wherein the bridge-like structure spans over the telemetry transmitter.
