Typically fiber optic rotary joints are part of a more comprehensive rotary interface; in addition to the fiber passes there are electrical power and signal channels. As the largest slip ring supplier in the world, Moog is able to select the appropriate slip ring to integrate with any FORJ.
Moog is also able to integrate fluid rotary unions to allow the transfer of liquid or gas across the rotary interface. This includes both low pressure fluid lines such as would be used for a coolant or high pressure hydraulic lines. It is also common to incorporate other rotary components, such as resolvers, encoders, motors and actuators into advanced rotary interface assemblies.
These rotary interface solutions can be provided to meet unique environmental requirements from deep space to 5500 meters below the ocean surface. The integration of FORJs into more complete rotary interface assemblies allows optimum performance at the lowest cost to the customer.
