Fiber Optic Rotary Joints With 7 to 109 Channels

The x.60 (fiber optic rotary joints with an outer diameter of 60 mm) accommodates the largest number of channels of all SPINNER fiber-optic rotary joints (FORJ). Up to 109 channels are possible.

7 to 36 Channels – With Single-Mode or Multimode Channels or a Mix of Both

All of the up to 36 independent channels can be specified individually. The optimized, high-precision, proprietary SPINNER collimator technology SCOT allows the use of singlemode or multimode channels or a mixture of both for a maximum of flexibility. Precise quality management ensures maximum performance and reliability during a long service life.

Applications

34 to 109 Channels – With Single-Mode Channels

Thanks to a new technology, SPINNER’s x.60 type can be configured with up to 109 single-mode channels in a diameter of up to 60 mm. No other FORJ features this many channels in a comparable housing size. SPINNER’s optics department works continually to improve the FORJs, also by incorporating new technologies and using different alignment approaches. As a result, the x.60 paves the way for unprecedented new possibilities and applications.

SPINNER can also manufacture customized FLEXIFLANGES for easy integration in your setup.

Applications

Fiber Optics - From Single Channel up to 109 Channels!

Single Channel Fiber Optics

Ø 6,8 mm/14 mm/17 mm
(Type 1.068/1.14/1.17)

The single-channel fiber-optic rotary couplings of SPINNER feature maximum performance in a minimum of space. It comes in three different standard versions as well as customized solutions.

2 to 4 Channel Fiber Optics

Ø 25 mm (Type x.25)

The mechanical design of the FORJ x.25, which is available with 2, 3 or 4 channels, makes this fibre optic rotary joint very compact. Also available as L-form!

3 to 8 Channel Fiber Optics

Ø 40 mm (Type x.40)

The SPINNER FORJ x.40 delivers market-leading compactness for multi-channel solutions with up to eight channels, with an outer housing diameter of only 39.5 mm.

7 to 109 Channel Fiber Optics

Ø 60 mm (Type x.60)

Ideal for multi-channel applications. These rotary joints cover the full range from seven up to 109 channels.

Pressure Compensated - Subsea Type

Ø 17 mm/65 mm
(Type 1.17pc/x.65pc)

The pressure compensated FORJs are designed for the use in deepsea and withstands brutal vibrations, high humidity, and seawater.

Large Core Fiber Optic

For special applications, e.g. life sciences and medical technology, SPINNER supplies fiber optic rotary joints with large core fibers or plastic optical fibers.
