Fibre Optic Rotary Joints
Fibre Optic Rotary Joints (FORJs) are the optical equivalent of the electrical slip ring. They are passive devices, allowing for the low loss transfer of single or multi-mode signals, through rotating interfaces, using optical technology.
Trolex Engineering can supply FORJs which are usually incorporated into a more complex interface, such as slip rings. Trolex Engineering is able to offer advice and guidance on the most suitable slip ring for your application.
- Non-contact optical interface
- No signal interference
- Certified for use in hazardous areas
- Low insertion loss
FORJs are widely used in remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), oil drilling systems, sensing systems and many other applications where a twist-free fibre cable is essential. Combined with electrical slip rings or fluid rotary joints, FORJs add a new dimension to traditional rotary joints. As fibre optic technology advances, traditional slip ring users will benefit from FORJs in their new fibre systems.
