Fiber Optic Rotary Joints (FORJ) Fiber optic rotary joint Description The FO228, a single-pass 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 lensless 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. Typical Applications • Cable reelers used in EOD robots • Material handling systems • Security cameras • Provides rotary coupling for a multimode fiber link • Passive bidirectional device • Low cost • 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 • Rugged design - MIL-STD-167-1 ship vibration - MIL-STD-810D functional shock (40 g) Moog Components Group
