- Product Overview:
Fiber Optic Rotary Joint (FORJ), also known as smooth rings, fiber optic rotary joints, optical hinges, etc., is to solve the problem of optical signal transmission between relative rotating parts, that is, to ensure that the transmission of optical signals is not interrupted due to rotation.
- Product features:
Compared with traditional electrical connectors, fiber optic rotary connectors offer the following advantages:
- It uses light for signal transmission, no electromagnetic leakage, good confidentiality, and anti-electromagnetic interference.
- Contactless transmission, no wear, long life, up to 5 million revolutions. It is frictionless and can be used in flammable and explosive environments.
- The transmission bandwidth is much larger than that of electrical connectors, and when used with wavelength division multiplexers, the bandwidth can be increased exponentially.
- Product classification
- According to the working principle, it can be divided into active fiber optic connectors and passive fiber optic connectors. Active devices are larger, have poor anti-interference ability, and have fewer transmission channels.
- According to the number of channels, it can be divided into single, dual and multi-channel. Multi-channel fiber optic rotary connectors have a large capacity to transmit signals and can achieve bidirectional transmission, but they are large and have a relatively complex structure.
- According to the different fibers used, it can be divided into two types: single-mode fiber rotary connectors and multi-mode fiber rotary connectors.
- Other categories include fiber optic rotary connectors using spatial infrared technology and fiber optic rotary connectors using wavelength division multiplexing technology.
- Application of the product
Transmission and control of high-speed video, digital and analog signals such as wind power generation, radar systems, ship systems, fire control systems, vehicle systems, phototheolites, helicopters, aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, satellites, spacecraft, submarines, unmanned submersibles, oil platforms, sonar detection equipment, hydrophones, medical CT, industrial robots, high-altitude balloons, packaging equipment, peripheral platforms, video surveillance systems, material conveying systems, remote mechanical remote control, industrial sensors, etc.
