SPINNER Fiber Optic Rotary Joints

Standard and Customized FORJs Up to 81 Channels – any Fiber Type Edition F/2019

Page 2: SPINNER Fiber Optic Rotary Joints

SPINNER is one of the world’s leading producers of high-performance rotary joints. Fiber optic rotary

joints (FORJ) in particular call for extremely exacting assembly of all optical and mechanical components

in cleanroom environments. And SPINNER provides both from a single source.

SPINNER Fiber Optic Rotary Joints - FORJ

We also supply combinations of fiber optic rotary joints

with radio frequency (RF) rotary joints, contactless power

transmission modules, slip rings, multi-media joints and

contactless data transmission. Our specialties also include

integrated data and power transmission solutions with a

small form factor.

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

For more than 70 years, the SPINNER Group has been setting new standards worldwide in high-frequency technology. Based in Munich with production facilities in Germany, Hungary and China, SPINNER cur-rently has over 1,000 employees. Our international network of subsidiaries and distributors supports customers in over 40 countries.

WIND ENERGY SUBSEA/OFFSHORE

SPINNER has become one of the leading manufacturers in

rotary joints thanks to its innovative approach, technical

expertise, and high standards of quality. Our products are

used in maritime applications (both above and below

water), on land, in the air, and in space.

Across all applications, the trend toward digitization and

increasing data transmission rates is continuing. Our

contactless modules for rotating systems deliver benefits

whenever slip rings are inadequate due to large outer

diameters and/or high data transmission rates.

SPINNER FORJ 1.17Developed for the harshest environments, the SPINNER FORJ 1.17 is able to withstand strong vibrations and jolts, high

humidity, and is made of a saltwater resistant stainless steel.

In wind power stations, this fiber optic rotary joint ensures highly reliable 24/7 data transmission. Its IP68-rated design meets

the needs of offshore wind parks.

SPINNER FORJ 1.14LFor very low-profile designs in which even the minimum bending radius of optical fiber is a constraint, the SPINNER FORJ

1.14L lets the optical beam turn a tight 90° corner. Based on the SPINNER FORJ 1.14, it features equally outstanding perfor-

mance. Typically used in studio cameras or defence and security.

SPINNER multi-channel rotary joints use a dove prism

to derotate images arriving via the input fiber for coupling

with the output fiber. For up to 81 channels, SPINNER

relies on discretely mounted collimators for the individual

light propagation paths instead of an optical lens array.

This technology makes it possible to individually adjust

and optimize the insertion loss values of each optical fiber

channel. The result is superior tracking performance of

optical channels during rotation.

SPINNER FORJ Multi-Channel

SPINNER FORJ x.25

The SPINNER FORJ x.25 meets the need for a basic dual-channel up to 4 channels, single-mode rotary joint. Its mechanical

system makes it very compact. We can supply it with either multi-mode fibers only or a combination of single-mode and

multi-mode fibers. IP65 is standard for this version. Smaller diameters are available. For higher rotational speeds version

x.25p (premium) is availabe with IP54.

SPINNER FORJ x.40

The SPINNER FORJ x.40 delivers market-leading compactness for multi-channel solutions with up to 8 channels, featuring

an outer housing diameter of only 39.5 mm. It is available in single-mode, multi-mode, mixed fiber configurations and IP65.

Wind Power Stations

Today’s wind turbines have to meet increasing demands with regard to energy yield, efficiency, and reliability.

To meet them, the systems linking the rotor blades and the control electronics in the nacelle must transmit

signals at ever-greater speeds. To optimize data transfer, SPINNER offers innovative solutions that have been

specially developed to meet the requirements of the wind power market.

Ethernet Module SPINNER FORJ 1.17 for wind power stations

Day after day, wind turbines simply stop turning and power

generation drops to zero, resulting in lost income. The

possible causes very greatly, but one of the principal ones is

faulty transmission of data for pitch control, which sets the

blades to the best angles for the wind to turn the rotor.

Data is normally transmitted via slip rings, but these are

subject to wear. The result is eventual loss of dependability,

and down times for maintenance are inevitable.

SPINNER’s contactless couplers and fiber optic rotary joints,

which now replace a part of the slip ring, take this into

account and enable fault-free data transmission in real

time.

Airborne and Military Radar Systems

The low-profile, extremely lightweight SPINNER FORJ 1.14 is designed for environments

characterized by strong vibrations and shocks. This FORJ is typically integrated in airborne

targeting systems of UAVs, aircrafts or helicopters.

SPINNER FORJ 1.14 for UAVs SPINNER 12 channel FORJ x.60 with X band waveguide and slip ring for radar applications

SPINNER 2 channel FORJ 2.25 with slip ring for electro-optical sensor systems

In ground-based, naval and mobile military radar systems, it

copes with the massive data volumes sent between the ro-

tating antenna and the processing unit in the control shelter.

For these applications, SPINNER has combined a

multi-channel FORJ with RF rotary joints, slip rings and

rotary unions to deliver power and coolant to the antenna.

Weather Radars

For weather radar systems, SPINNER combines FORJs typically with single and dual channel

RF rotary joints for frequency ranges in S-, C- and X-band.

SPINNER FORJ 1.14L for helicopters SPINNER FORJ 1.14 with waveguides and slip ring for weather radars

SPINNER FORJ 1.14L with slip ring

For weather radar systems, SPINNER combines FORJs

typically with single and dual channel RF rotary joints for

frequency ranges in S-, C- and X-band. Where in current

weather radar systems a slip ring transfers data to the

antenna, the SPINNER FORJ brings data rates of several

Gbit/s with highest reliability to weather radar systems

around the globe.

4K / 8K Video Transmission over 360°

SPINNER’s miniature slip ring/FORJ combinations with diameters as small as 22 mm enable

interference-free video data transmission in 4K and 8K quality, also with fast-moving images.

SPINNER FORJ 1.14 with slip ring: the perfect match for cable-suspended camera system

They are ideal for low-profile applications, since they ensure

the critical minimum fiber bending radius and unit length.

This is why manufacturers of leading-edge cable-suspended

camera systems rely on SPINNER.

Revolving Stages

Single- and multi-mode fiber optic rotary joints with between two and 20 channels are used whenever it

isn‘t feasible to multiplex digital signals. This is the case in radar applications requiring high-performance

transmission of multiple phased signals, in which A/D conversion errors would be unacceptable.

SPINNER FORJ 2.25 with slip ring for revolving stages in theatres on ocean liners

The SPINNER FORJ 2.25 also offers excellent value for

money since it separately transmits each channel, thus elim-

inating the need for complex active multiplexing technology.

A good example is revolving stages with power slip rings on

ocean liners.

For long-term continuous applications that require DC power and high data throughput,

SPINNER supplies a completely contactless rotary joint system.

SPINNER 100 W contacless DC/DC converter with free inner diameter for FORJ

SPINNER 300 W contacless DC/DC converter with free inner diameter for FORJ

SPINNER single-channel FORJ 1.14L

It achieves a very small form factor by integrating the fiber

optic channels into the DC power module at rotational

speeds up to 3000 rpms. This hybrid rotary joint is typically

implemented in high-end imaging systems and industrial

machining applications.

Thanks to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technol-

ogies, the fiber-optic channels provide maximum flexibility

for communications protocols and data channels. SPINNER

supplies contactless DC/DC converters together with fiber

optic rotary joints, e.g. the right-angled FORJ 1.14L, as a

single unit.

SPINNER can also adapt the assembly for harsh environ-

ments by using FC/PC adapters instead of flying cables and

ordinary FC/PC connectors. The nominal output voltage of

this system is 24 V DC, but the technology used also lets it

be flexibly modified for a higher or lower voltage or current.
