FO228 Fiber Optic Rotary Joint

FO228 Fiber Optic Rotary Joint

The FO228, a single-channel multimode fiber optic rotary joint (FORJ), is passive and bidirectional, and maintain the benefits of fiber optics (such as high bandwidth and EMI immunity) in systems with a rotational interface.

This cost-efficient FORJ model is designed for applications having moderate demands for optical performance and life. Due to its lens-less design, it can operate at any wavelength supported by the fiber used in the assembly.

The FORJ can be combined with our electrical and fluid slip rings, giving a single, compact package for optical signals, electrical power and fluid transfer.

Features

• Provides rotary coupling for a multimode fiber link
• Can be combined with our electrical slips and fluid unions
• Alternative drive coupling and mounting arrangements are available (consult factory for specification details)
• Connectorized interfaces, for easy fiber cable replacement
• Can be integrated into existing slip ring designs
• Aluminum or anodized aluminum housing
• Ruggedized design
  - MIL-STD-167-1 ship vibration
  - MIL-STD-810 functional shock (40 g)

Benefits

• Low cost
• Integration capabilities
• Passive bidirectional optical transmission
• Compact size
• Long-life high channel-count device
